Global Traffic Technologies introduces LED infrared transmitter

Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) has introduced its first LED infrared emitter for use with the company’s Opticom Infrared System.

The system allows priority at traffic light-controlled intersections for police or emergency vehicles, and is designed to improve traffic safety, while lowering the overall emergency response time by an average of 20%. A coding capability reduces the risk of unauthorized users, while providing vehicle tracking and reporting capabilities. The system is also used to assist the movement of mass transit vehicles through signal-controlled intersections for an improved on-schedule service.

The new Series 795H Low-Profile Emitter reduces power consumption by more than 80% compared to previous infrared models, which allows customers more flexibility in outfitting their vehicles with other electronic equipment. Designed for low-profile lightbars on police cars and other emergency vehicles, the use of LEDs offers greater longevity compared with conventional incandescent strobe emitters.
