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 1):
A remote controlled mobile traffic control apparatus comprising:\n a mobile platform; a locomotion system installed on the mobile platform to carry the mobile platform in a movable manner over a ground surface; a traffic control indicator mounted on the mobile platform and operable to display different traffic control indications to oncoming traffic approaching said mobile platform; a control module installed on the mobile platform and operable to receive incoming signals, and based on said incoming signals, switch between the different traffic control indications displayed to the oncoming traffic and move the mobile platform over the ground surface via the locomotion system; and one or more remote devices operable to transmit said incoming signals to the control module from remote distances, wherein said one or more remote devices comprises a motion sensing hand-held remote sized for carrying in one-hand of an operator and comprising motion sensors that are operable to detect and discern between tilting of the hand-held remote in different tilt directions in three dimensional space, the motion sensing hand-held remote being arranged to generate and transmit a different the drive control signal to the locomotion system depending on the detected tilt direction in order to drive the platform in a respective direction correlated to said detected tilt direction.
