Abstract:
A remote controlled mobile traffic control system which can be used in the place of a human flag person. A mobile platform with an adjustable traffic control indicator thereon is controlled by a remote control. The operator can move the platform and change the indication of the traffic control apparatus from a safe distance. The apparatus permits “flagging” of traffic in a moving traffic control zone arrangement, and operational safety is maximized. A traffic barrier arm is movable between deployed and retracted positions obstructing the path of oncoming traffic, for example by a remote controlled actuator or by remote controlled turning of the platform. A remote alarm unit accompanies to the work crew to alarm them of traffic entering the work zone without authorization or at unsafe speed. The apparatus can travel with a moving or changing work zone, either by human remote control or autonomous “follow me” functionality.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of setting up traffic control at a one-way roadway using two of the remote controlled mobile traffic control apparatus of  claim 15 , said method comprising positioning the two apparatus on opposite sides of said roadway at or adjacent a boundary of a control-requiring zone of said roadway with front ends of the mobile platforms of said two apparatus facing in opposite directions toward and away from said control-requiring zone and with the rotatable portions of the support shafts of said two apparatus set in opposite ones of the first and second positions so that the traffic control indicators of said two apparatus face a common direction that opposes a traffic flow direction of said one-way roadway, while the barrier arms of said two apparatus reach in opposite directions inwardly over said roadway toward one another from said opposite sides of said roadway.
