AITDSA recommended for use device/solution Accepted for use in

Name: TriLight

The TriLight is a remote-controlled, Type 1 Portable Traffic Signal intended to replace a human traffic controller standing in traffic in higher-risk settings.

It allows the traffic controller to be remotely positioned away from live traffic and provides the ability to actively control traffic from a safe location.

Conditions for use:

  • New South Wales
  • New Zealand
  • South Australia
  • Tasmania
  • Victoria
  • Western Australia (including 8 Local Government Areas)

Name: TriSign

The TriSign is a remote-access, changeable message sign that has been developed as a direct replacement for temporary traffic management signage on project works on high-speed and/or high-risk areas.

It is intended to remove the need for mobile traffic control convoys and workers on foot from high-risk set-up and pack-up functions.

The TriSign allows the user to quickly change the signage on a traffic management worksite to one of three pre-set options (the options being configurable prior to use).

The TriSign uses low power and runs off solar and on-board battery.

It has been designed as a direct replacement for pole or vehicle-mounted multi-message TTM signage and for project worksites.

Conditions for use

  • New South Wales
  • South Australia
  • Tasmania
  • Victoria
  • Western Australia

Name: Gibney® Barrier

The Gibney Barrier is a portable manual traffic control device comprising two paddles perpendicular to each other to control vehicle movement during emergencies, road construction, public events, or other activities.

It can be used as an alternative to the Stop/Slow bat, allowing traffic controllers to step out of the live lanes of traffic.

It reduces the traffic controller’s exposure to live traffic.

The Gibney Barrier incorporates a ‘Boomerang Arm’ to position the traffic controller 1.2–1.5 m from the edge line in accordance with Austroads standards.

Conditions for use:

  • Only to be used to replace a traffic controller using a stop/slow bat and not as a substitute for a remote-controlled portable traffic control device (PTCD).
  • Only to be used where traffic is controlled to 40km/h at the site of use.
  • The Gibney Barrier must be used in accordance with the environmental and operating procedures detailed by Fulton Hogan.
  • All requirements pertaining to the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management apply for use of the Gibney Barrier.
  • New Zealand
  • South Australia
  • Tasmania
  • Victoria

Name: eBOOM

The eBOOM is a portable lightweight boom barrier.

It is designed to provide a physical barrier to entry, and remove traffic controllers from live traffic, enabling them to control traffic movement from a protected location.

It can be deployed by a single person and is wirelessly paired and controlled via a Hand Remote Controller (HRC) within a safe radius of 400 metres.

The eBOOM can be integrated with other traffic control signs within the traffic control vehicle.

Conditions for use:

  • New South Wales
  • New Zealand
  • South Australia
  • Tasmania
  • Victoria
  • Western Australia

Name: eSTOP Auto

The eSTOP Auto is a portable lightweight traffic signal system that can be deployed by a single person.

It is wirelessly paired and controlled via a hand-held remote controller, enabling traffic workers to perform their duties from a safe distance away from live traffic.

The eSTOP Auto can be deployed in three modes, manual/auto/vehicle actuation. The auto function enables the traffic operator to regulate the traffic automatically under supervision. The embedded vehicle radar (Vehicle actuation) feature ensures reduced waiting times as it overrules “green” periods when no vehicle is approaching to let the waiting vehicle on red proceed.

Conditions for use:

  • South Australia
  • Victoria
  • Western Australia

Name: SentriGate

SentriGate is a solar-powered, motorised boom gate that can be remotely controlled by traffic controllers.

Its lightweight design enables a single person to position the SentriGate for use.

In the event of an impact, the SentriGate's boom arm swings away, minimising potential impacts to road users.

Conditions for use:

  • SentriGate can only be used where traffic is controlled to 60km/h or less.
  • SentriGate must not replace the use of a more appropriate, higher-level TTM control at temporary traffic management sites.
  • In compliance with individual jurisdictional requirements, Innov8 must provide a STOP sign and change the markings and accessories on the SentriGate.
  • All requirements pertaining to the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management apply for use of the SentriGate.
  • New South Wales
  • South Australia
  • Victoria
