Guardian SmartFlagger (AFAD) Traffic Control Device
Gone are the days when road crews had to rely on manual traffic control flaggers to manage busy intersections and highway lanes. With our advanced system, you get more than just a piece of equipment—you get an entire upgrade in handling road safety.
As an automated flagger assistance device (AFAD), our Guardian SmartFlagger transforms traditional traffic management into a safer, more innovative, and more efficient solution. Designed to improve work zone safety and optimize operations, this AFAD traffic control system is the answer to reducing risks and enhancing productivity on road construction sites.
Designed to Meet Your Needs
Road construction and maintenance projects vary widely in scope and complexity. Some require quick setups for short-term lane closures, while others need more elaborate safety measures for extended work zones. Our automated flagging device adapts to any of these demands, providing flexibility and consistency in one package. Consider it your partner in the field—a device that’s always on duty, no matter the time, weather, or traffic volume.
Traditional traffic control flaggers do an outstanding job but can only cover so much ground. That’s where the AFAD traffic control concept excels. By leveraging sensors, remote control capabilities, and bright signals, we can reduce human exposure to traffic hazards. We also minimize the potential for human error, ensuring that your work zone remains as safe as possible.
Gains for Your Business
Cost Savings
Businesses can optimize labor costs without compromising safety by implementing a Guardian SmartFlagger (AFAD) Traffic Control Device. Fewer people are needed to manage work zones, and with enhanced traffic compliance, project delays and accidents decrease, leading to significant cost reductions.
Safer Work Zones
Safety is non-negotiable in traffic control. Traditional traffic control flaggers are constantly at risk, standing just feet away from speeding vehicles. With AFAD traffic control, there’s no second-guessing signals or confusion in lane assignments—just smooth, regulated flow. The result? A drop in accident rates and a significant boost in worker morale.
Increased Productivity
A more secure environment leads to better job performance. When your team feels protected, their efficiency increases. Our smart traffic control system further accelerates operations by maintaining an orderly vehicle flow. By coordinating traffic with fewer stoppages, you minimize downtime and maximize productivity.
Why Implement a Guardian SmartFlagger (AFAD)?
Work Zone Crashes
Accidents happen, but they don’t have to be inevitable. Many work zone crashes occur because of driver distraction, speeding, or miscommunication between flaggers and motorists. An AFAD traffic control setup uses clear, reliable signals that are easily seen, decreasing the likelihood of collisions.
Faster Responses
With real-time monitoring and decision-making, this automated flagging device reacts faster than human flaggers, ensuring immediate action to keep traffic moving smoothly. Studies show that drivers respond better to automated signals than to human flaggers, reducing the likelihood of incidents and keeping roadways safer.
Key Features of Guardian SmartFlagger
Smart Technology for Maximum Safety
Our device isn’t just an upgraded traffic sign—it’s a fully integrated system that can gather and analyze data in real-time. From detecting vehicle speeds to alerting operators of unusual traffic patterns, this automated flagger assistance device keeps you ahead of potential hazards.
Video Surveillance for Better DriverCompliance
Ever dealt with aggressive or inattentive drivers in your work zone? The Guardian SmartFlagger (AFAD) employs video capabilities that capture real-time footage of the area. Knowing they’re being recorded often encourages drivers to comply more readily with the posted signals and signs.
Quick to Set Up, Easy to Manage
The Guardian SmartFlagger’s compact size makes it a breeze to position and activate at any job site. Thanks to its lightweight construction, a single pickup vehicle can carry two Guardian SmartFlaggers, along with the necessary signs and cones, ensuring your team can easily handle even the busiest work zones.
Single-vehicle Operation for Simplicity
Unlike traditional traffic control flaggers, which require multiple personnel, the automated flagging device allows a single worker to transport, deploy, and operate with one truck to any job site.
Built for High Efficiency
After extensive testing across North America, the Guardian SmartFlagger has evolved into a true engineering marvel. Its clever design allows for simple transport yet unfolds to a robust 10-by-10-foot footprint once fully deployed. The detachable gate arm offers expanded coverage while keeping setup time to a minimum so you can get your projects rolling faster.
Like Having an Extra Set of Eyes on the Road
Night-vision cameras, positioned for a full 360-degree view, let you keep watch over both ends of your work zone at all times. You can record up to 80 hours of footage for future reference or to resolve any on-site disputes that may arise. With this automated flagger assistance device, you’ll have clear visual evidence of any incidents or unauthorized entries—ensuring you stay informed and your team remains secure.
How It Works
Automated Flagging System Functionality
At the heart of the system is a suite of sensors, lights, and control algorithms. Once activated, the device manages traffic flow by signaling when vehicles should slow down, stop, or proceed. Because it’s built for remote operation, it ensures your team can maintain a safe distance while still directing traffic effectively.
Integration with Smart Work Zone Technology
Our system integrates seamlessly with other innovative solutions and real-time data networks. This synergy enables synchronized operations across your entire site, allowing you to optimize everything from speed limits to lane shifts based on incoming data.
Remote Control and Real-Time Decision-Making
The device’s live-feed capabilities allow operators to monitor road conditions from a central command center or even a mobile device. This setup dramatically lowers the risk to personnel while ensuring smooth, moment-to-moment management of traffic flow.
