Abstract

The TSR is designed to switch intersection traffic control signals. Only for emergency vehicles with the remote button, mounted on the dash, allowing such vehicle to remotely change the lights ahead to red to stop circulation in all directions until such vehicle pass the intersection.

Description

SPECIfICf~TION
THE RECEIVING UNIT: A circuit card mounted in with the already existing) intersection traffic lights control relays, is designed to override the existing lighting control for several seconds, and change the lights to red, then return to normal operation; fig. 1.
THE TRANSMITTING UNIT: A red button mounted on the dashboard of the emergency vehicle, with an inside mounted frame containing the circuit, the operator presses this button and activates the coded signal to the nearest intersection, to turn the lights red for several seconds.
DESIGN PRODUCT ADVANTAGES: Specifically design for emergency vehicles to remotely change a specific operation of the intersection lighting, this unit is very simple and reliable to operate and can be adapted to any lighting configuration. The unit operates on a coded signal transmitted at around 1200 MHz; with a voltage of 24 V D.C. and consumption of 10 watts.

Claims

THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION IN WHICH AN EXCLUSIVE
PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:

~ "REMOTE TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL". Being a electronic circuit capable of remotely operate, the traffic lights. Consisting of a transmitter and a receiver.

~ "REMOTE TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL". According to claim 1,characterized in that the transmitting unit be mounted on the dashboard of any emergency vehicles (ambulances, fire trucks, police etc.) allowing the momentary control of the lighting of any intersection couple with the special coded receiver unit. Facilitating a much safer way for emergency vehicles to cross intersections on the city.

~ "REMOTE TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL". According to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the receiving unit be couple to the local operating lighting control. Allowing the unit to receiver an encoded signal from the special transmitter mounted on the emergency vehicle. Thus affecting the change of all lights to red. In effect stopping traffic at the intersection.

~ "REMOTE TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL". According to claim 3, characterized in the remote wireless operation of lights or any other digital or analog circuitry to a desired state and back to normal. Operates on a 12 to 15 MHz shorthand frequency, with a range of 500 to 800 feet directly toward a traffic intersection, also equipped with a coded signal avoiding false operation.

~ "REMOTE TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL". According to claim 4, characterized in a simple very efficient, trouble free system for the remote operation of single, double, even triple lighted intersections
