QUEUE WARNING SYSTEMS
As the most common component to almost all Smart Work Zone, the queue warning systems (Stopped Traffic Advisory System) informs drivers of the presence of downstream stop-and-go traffic based on real-time traffic detection. The system activates warning signs and flashing lights that alert drivers to expect emergency braking and reduce collisions.

System Information
Depending on the type of sensor used, Street Smart can determine the following information from vehicles: speeds, volume, classification, gap, occupancy, headway, etc. This information creates advanced warning messages upstream, alerting the traffic of conditions ahead.
The changeable message and smart arrow boards provide real-time information to motorists alerting them that traffic is slow or stopped.
Anticipated System Effects
Queue Warning System can help reduce primary and secondary crashes by alerting drivers to congested conditions. Incident severity decreased because drivers prepare for impending congestion. Stopped Traffic Advisory Systems can also help delay the onset of congestion. With more uniform speeds, traffic flows more smoothly and efficiently.
