SAFE ROAD SYSTEM ©

The SAFE-ROAD® System has been specifically designed by GEONICA with the aim of offering advanced solutions for increased road safety, integrating an entire series of new technologies covering the measurement, process, transmission and spreading of environmental data that can be of such significant influence on the safety of vehicles that are circulating. The SAFE-ROAD® System likewise incorporates diverse types of traffic detectors, classifiers, counters and speed metres for vehicles, these being of tremendous utility for the authorities and those responsible for road and motorway management and conservation.

In the illustration found below, a complete diagram is presented of the SAFE-ROAD® System. The data collected from all the meteorological sensors, pavement status metres, vehicle detectors and web cameras, etc. are collected and stored in the Data Acquisition and Transmission Unit model METEODATA-3000C. All the information is stored is transmitted in quasi-real time to a central computer through diverse methods that are available (radio, optical fibre, GSM / GPRS or through the Internet), where said data is finally processed, and published on a WEB-ROAD server, for general or restricted user access.

The SAFE - ROAD® SYSTEM consist on the following functional subsystems:

Environmental meteorological sensors, for thermal soil flow and pavement status.

Vehicle detectors, counters/classifiers and speed meters.

Remote Data Acquisition and Transmission Unit model METEODTA-3000C powered by internal batteries with solar panel charger or mains.

Data transmisión netowrk via radio, GSM/GPRS, Internet, optical fibre, etc.

WEB server for information spreading, with warnings, alarms and meteorological predictions, by way of the Internet, to the different
System users.

Web cameras for images and video.
