We’re proud to be leading innovation in traffic management once again with the launch of a new flexible solution that changes the game for short-duration works. Our remotely monitored signals (REMOS) are now available in a fast-deploying format—making them the UK’s first remote-controlled mobile traffic signal system designed specifically for short-term traffic control.
REMOS – in short-term scenarios.
The provision of two service solutions – the original REMOS Max and the new REMOS Flex – reflects feedback generated by the product’s 2024 trials and a series of live local authority market familiarisation schemes that commenced earlier this year across Greater Manchester and the Midlands.
REMOS was designed to enable customers to minimise the number of personnel stationed on site in live traffic lanes, supporting road worker safety.
Protecting Roadworkers from Accidents and Roadside Abuse
Remotely operated signals (REMOS) allow one person to manage several sites simultaneously, efficiently making interventions to prevent and eliminate bottlenecks. There is no scope for human error caused by on site fatigue or inability to see the full system and the solution performs even in poor weather conditions that may deter on-site personnel. Its single-person control facilitates reliable operation, even in the face of the frequent staff shortages that characterise the sector and cause roadwork delays. The environmental benefits of the solution are significant: SRL estimates that REMOS can save contractors in the region of 3,564 kg CO2 pa per operative no longer required on site.
REMOS Flex – Long-term Hire
The newly created, short-term REMOS Flex solution is available for long-term lease in two-, three- or four-way packages. Customers need only provide SRL with two hours’ notice to commence remote operation and can decide how to allocate up to 12 hours of remote monitoring and control per day, with additional hours available via surcharge. They may switch off the REMOS facility whenever required.
Multiphase ADS Keeps Traffic Moving
When the solution is not being remotely operated, it automatically reverts to SRL’s patented Multiphase Advanced Detection System (ADS), the UK and Ireland’s only multiphase adaptive detection system for portable traffic signals, which has been proven and independently verified to ***reduce queue length by up to 50% during peak periods. A high-precision radar collects real-time data on traffic volumes and speeds and transmits this to signals, an algorithm dynamically adjusting green times to optimise traffic flow.
REMOS Flex also incorporates SRL Solar PLUS, SRL’s patented solar traffic signal technology along with absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries that may be easily and efficiently charged onboard.
