INDUSTRIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Traffic accidents are prevalent in industrial sites. Managing truck and train flow is required for a smooth and safe operation. ELTEC designs systems that control/ manage traffic entering restricted areas. Every industrial site has its own hazardous complexities, so the methods of solving the safety issues are individually designed. For specific examples see News Articles & Stories
APPLICATIONS
- Waste Management Sites
- Industrial Train Crossings
- Loading Dock Access
FEATURES/OPTIONS
Systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day, or a programmable time clock can be added if limited operation time is desired (closed weekends, for example). During the working hours, LED activation is determined by each site’s traffic pattern. Some activation is manually controlled while some LED’s are triggered automatically. Various control methods are:
- Motion sensors
- Console mounted transmitter
- Hand held transmitter
Sensor activated systems are ideal for restricted lane control, work zones and similar applications. In cases where vehicle admission is irregular, usually a hand held or dash mounted radio transmitter may be preferred.

Other considerations can be added such as emergency warnings for an imminent accident, environmental hazard or other analogous situations. The warning system can be a horn, bell or any device of your choosing. The emergency warning system uses a separate radio control; the interaction of the standard system does not trigger an emergency warning.
Ontrack Innovative Solutions
For the past decade ELTEC and Ontrack Innovative Solutions have partnered to supply systems for traffic safety at industrial plant sites. Ontrack’s railroad crossing system provides employee and public safety while decreasing company liabilities. ELTEC’s responsibilities include engineering consultation and manufacturing of Ontrack systems as well as installation support.

When AC power is not practical, DC solar power is the solution. All ELTEC’s industrial traffic systems are sized by a sophisticated computer program guaranteeing sufficient power. It considers:
- Power generated by the solar panels at the installation latitude
- Power consumed by the load; guaranteeing sufficient power
- Geographical location: accounts for number of sunny & cloudy days in the area
- System is correctly sized: never oversized or undersized
ELTEC’s DC solar system benefits:
- Self Contained
- No Power Interruption
- No Trenching or Boring Cable
- No Electrical Bills
- Electrical Contractors/Technicians Not Required for Installation
- High Efficiency Solar Modules with 20 year warranty
- Controller with LCD Display Shows Battery & Solar Array Voltage, Output and Load Current
- AGM Sealed Deep Cycle Batteries: 5 Year Pro-rated Warranty
- Sized by Computer Program: Insures Power Generated meets/exceeds Load Requirements
