Project Summary
This project consists of furnishing and installing a Power Outage Emergency Beacon (POEB) system powered by solar energy to provide emergency traffic signal operation during power outages. Work includes installation of a POEB control cabinet equipped with batteries, charging regulator, relay, flasher assembly, grounding system, and all required internal wiring, mounted on an appropriate pole or mast arm. The project also includes installation and alignment of red LED POEB signal heads on each approach, configured to alternate flashing between main street and side street movements for optimal visibility. Solar power will be supplied by dual solar panels mounted to achieve maximum sunlight exposure.
Community Benefit
The primary benefit of installing solar -powered beacons is its ability to provide emergency traffic control during power outages. The beacons will activate immediately upon complete power loss at each traffic signal, ensuring traffic control until the signal repair crews can restore power or install temporary signage.
