Traffic Power Systems

Power disturbances at busy traffic intersections can have far reaching consequences. Alpha offers a full range of integrated power conditioning and standby products for outdoor traffic applications.

Power loss to traffic signals can immediately gridlock an intersection and create congestion on arterials and outlying intersections dramatically increasing the likelihood of accidents. According to the 2000 D.O.T. US Intersection Report, more than 29,000 automobile accidents occurred when traffic control systems failed, resulting in an estimated cost of $150 billion to our economy.

Benefits for offering backup power:

Improves intersection safety
Reduces accidents caused by power failures
Saves money by eliminating ghost service calls
Improves reliability of all controller electronics
Maintains consistent traffic flow
