Keep traffic flowing 24/7 with AutoGreen

RadioConnect2 features AutoGreen Technology, an advanced method of Vehicle Actuation for portable traffic signals that uses artificial intelligence to optimise signal operation to best suit current traffic conditions. It is the only intelligent traffic light system to be proven in real-world scenarios, backed-up by reliable data!

AutoGreen improves traffic flow, reduces driver frustration and lessens the need for manual control or manual intervention.

Reliable Radio Comms

The radio spectrum is filling up fast, meaning portable traffic signals have to communicate with each other in an increasingly congested environment.

Our Active Channel Management technology delivers reliable radio performance for portable and temporary traffic signals operating in challenging environments.

Simplicity and Safety

There’s a reason why the RC2 Tripod is one of the most popular signals on the market. Operatives find the RC2 Tripod really easy to use with the intuitive control panel, which is placed at eye level to allow the user to see oncoming traffic when setting up. The RC2 Tripod performs best at 2-way shuttle works, with minimal set-up time thanks to AutoGreen’s dynamic green time adjustment.
