The ISC West and Getting the Most out of Huge Tradeshows

The ISC West is an amazing security show with access to all the security professionals you’d every want to meet and over 1,000 new products you didn’t even know existed.

We’re proud to be exhibiting our bestselling solutions like the SafePace 100 speed display sign and our recycled rubber speed humps. Our smart solutions improve safety and prevent accidents at entryways, in facilities and on roadways of all kinds.

We know you’ll want to check out our booth and meet us to learn more about how we’re protecting roads around the world.

But where do you head next?

A show of this size can be overwhelming but planning ahead can help.

Start by narrowing it down. Figure out just who you really want to meet and which products you’d like to learn about. Leave yourself free time to explore but make sure you don’t miss what you came for.

Schedule meetings ahead of time with companies that interest you so you know you’re making the most of your time at the show.

We hope to see you there!

The ISC Show West will be on April 10-12, 2018 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, NV. For more info click here.

Do You Have an Action Plan?

Every city wants safe roads. No public works director or transportation department says hey, we don't care if people speed on our roads, cause crashes, and put pedestrians at risk. But how proactive are you in keeping  your roads safe?

For many cities, that answer is very. But if it isn't for yours, it may be time to take action.

The best way to ensure that you're putting traffic calming where it's most needed and not just slapping a bandaid on problems as they arise is to have a plan in place of how to address issues.

Cities with the most effective traffic calming programs have point systems to determine when and where traffic calming is needed most.

By allocating points to streets based on an established formula, you can target dangerous speeding behaviors in a way that makes sense, creating safer roads for everyone who uses them.

Long Sunny Days, Wide Empty Roads

Long Sunny Days, Wide Empty Roads

False Sense of Security The sun is shining, the days are long, and the beach, lake, and mountains beckon. The excitement of warm weather and promise of vacation coupled with the seemingly ideal summer driving conditions can lull drivers into a false sense of security. In fact, a Michelin study on driver safety found that 74% of drivers believe that less accidents happen during the summer. However, summer roads are not quite as safe as they seem. Summer Dangers The summer months are actually among the most dangerous on the roads and precisely because of that sense of security that warm weather and clear roads bring. As drivers lower their guard, they tend to relax their driving standards, becoming less vigilant than they might be in the snow or rain. The results can be deadly. Car crashes are often at their highest during the summer months while recent data showed August as second to highest for fatal crashes while July and August were among the highest of the year for crash injuries.  Nature's Traffic Calming Making sure that cars are traveling at safe speeds and that drivers stay alert is important all year long. But for much of the year, nature does her part to keep drivers on their toes. While the perils of distracted driving beckon drivers all year long, conditions like snowy roads, pouring rain, or slippery leaves can be enough to urge drivers to focus on the road ahead. In the summertime, when roads are clear and the sun is often shining bright, it becomes the job of cities, more than ever, to find ways to keep drivers alert and calm traffic. Man-Made Effort Nature has the right idea by creating changing road conditions to keep drivers focused. In fact, the earliest traffic calming configurations were made precisely to make driving more challenging in order to stop speeding. Physical devices such as speed humps or cushions compel drivers to focus on navigating their cars carefully. Brightly lit speed signs are another powerful way to grab drivers attention and return their focus to their driving. Summer roads don’t have to be dangerous. Traffic calming can make the difference

Case Highlight: South Carolina Ports

Case Highlight: South Carolina Ports Targeted Photo Speeds The South Carolina Port Authority is one of the fastest growing major ports in the US with over $150 million of cargo passing through daily. To improve accountability for trucks traveling in and out of the port, a gate entry system takes a photo of each truck’s equipment. The challenge is that photos can only be captured at 8- 12 mph. When trucks don’t reach the target speed, they slow the cargo delivery process and create needless traffic by circling back for a second try.   In Search of the Perfect Solution For a solution to work to address the truck speed issue, several features were imperative. The Ports Authority needed to be able to regulate truck speed, notify incoming trucks of speeds, message drivers to slow down or speed up, inform drivers when they should maintain their speeds, and be completely programmable from office in Charleston, SC to any port in the state. Innovative Speed Sign The innovative SafePace 700 sign offered a unique array of options that was a perfect fit for the South Carolina Ports. The full matrix of LEDs allows for display of driver speed, text messages, or a combination of both. The SafePace Cloud allows for remote access of the signs from anywhere with internet. With the pilot program in Greer, SC, over 200 miles away from Port offices, this offered the flexibility to regulate truck speeds at the port. Is Education Enough? The SafePace 700 signs have been installed at ports in Greer, SC with plans to install more in Charleston and at other state ports. With extra large 18” digits for improved visibility and flashing strobes, drivers can clearly see their speeds and be warned when exceeding thresholds. Driver responsive messaging can be programmed to alert drivers to slow down, speed up, or maintain speed. All programming and data downloads can be done seamlessly from anywhere with internet via SafePace Cloud.
