Haul Route PLUS®
Haul Route PLUS® in a nutshell
Wireless Connectivity
The wireless radio system ensures reliable, consistent communication between the barrier and signal source across any setup, design or distance.
Solar Power
Haul Route PLUS® utilises solar technology across the signals, barriers, VMS and CCTV for maximum energy yield, reducing battery exchanges and emissions from maintenance vehicles.
Dual Barrier System
Multiple barriers per approach enhance safety and provide greater access control, ensuring secure and efficient site management, helping greater reduce unauthorised site ingress.
An Award Winning Solution
We’re proud to share that Haul Route PLUS® was named the ‘Product of the Year’ in the Highways Awards 2023.
Timers and Delays
Fully customisable to site layout and size, Haul Route PLUS® is the only plant crossing solution to automatically alter signal timings and provide barrier delays for maximum adaptability and accommodation to plant vehicles, preventing the need for manual activation.
All Red Detection
Each automated barrier includes an all-red detector, preventing conflicts by monitoring potential hazards and delaying green signals if a vehicle breaks down, stops, or moves slowly within the all-red area, enhancing safety over standard haul route crossings.
Integrations and Analysis
Integrate VMS to gather road data and provide live information to road users and integrate CCTV to provide live remote monitoring and analytics of the system such as unauthorised access.
What products make up Haul Route PLUS® Solution?
Haul Route PLUS® is made up of a variety of SRL products to provide an all-round plant crossing solution that helps improve safety and efficiency, lowers maintenance and reduce emissions.
Key Features
Haul Route PLUS® offers operator-free automated control with site-specific configurations, improving safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Optimised timings keeps traffic flowing and reduces idling, even during high-volume periods, while solar-powered batteries last months between exchanges, cutting emissions and maintenance costs. Optional CCTV cameras provide 360° coverage with advanced analytics for enhanced security. Visual messaging on approach roads alerts drivers to hazards and delays, promoting road safety and reducing driver complaints effectively.
Each project is unique, so we tailor Haul Route PLUS® to meet specific site and customer needs. Our approach includes consultations, surveys, and site visits, creating a bespoke solution to optimise traffic flow and minimise disruption for each client whilst work is being undertaken. Once installed, we fine-tune the setup, provide product training and are available 24/7 for support through our nationwide depot network. Haul Route PLUS® uses automated, site-specific configurations and all-red detectors, to enhance efficiency and safety by monitoring conflict areas and eliminating the need for an on-site operator to prevent incursions.
Haul Route PLUS® promotes sustainable traffic management by integrating solar panel technology in every component, including dual solar panels on traffic signals for maximum yield. This aligns with our ESG policy, committed to sustainable practices like leasing, reusing, refurbishing, and recycling products to minimise environmental impact. Our approach not only supports a circular economy but also helps clients manage emissions on their projects, contributing to a greener future and aligning with their own ESG goals.
Technical Capabilities
Harnessing Solar Power
Haul Route PLUS® utilises SolarLight™ signals and RiseMaster HE barriers, both of which provide year round operation without the need for battery exchanges.
Automatic Barriers
Remove the risk of site ingress with physical barriers that eliminate site ingress potential and guide road-users of the restricted site area.
ANPR Integration
ANPR detection provides custom timings specific to each plant vehicle to minimise road vehicle idling and provide optimised crossing times.
Freely-Configurable Programmes
Configure the system up the eight phases, complete with automatic on/off timer programmable functionality.
Part-Time Signals
Signals can be set up as part-time signals, allowing your operator to configure the signals to switch off and then back on at pre-set times as appropriate (up to four times a day).
Day/Night/Weekend Programmes
Set up to six different max times for each phase for the demands at different times of day.
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental sensors can provide real-time updates for NO2, SO2, CO2, O3, PM Sensors 1, 2.5, 4, 10 and heat, helping your analyse emission output around the site.
Remote Monitoring
Access remote monitoring software which allows you to see the status of the signals (red or green) and monitor battery voltage, via your computer or phone.
CCTV on Site
If required, you can opt to have CCTV mounted to the system to access live feed video and analytics of the crossing (additional cost).
Variable Signal Head Heights
SolarLight™ signals can be set at different heights to accommodate different vehicles to enhance visibility to vehicle operators.
Handset Control
If required, the system’s phases can be manually controlled by an operator from a safe distance away from site using the SRL Remote Control from.
Add Ons
Push button facility to activate the lights stop line detection to enhance usability. Add on SRL VMS on the approach to warn approaching road-users of the heavy plant crossing up ahead.
