According to the National Transportation Safety Board, on average, there are about 260 wrong way collisions each year, causing 360 deaths. 68% of these crashes occur between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. Flashing warning signs, triggered by a vehicle headed in the wrong direction, can capture the attention of the distracted driver, prompting them to turn around and change their course.
Solar Advanced Warning Systems offers an effective detection and notification system that grabs the attention of the wrong way driver immediately upon entering the roadway, and alerts emergency responders to the entry point of the vehicle, in real time. This detection & notification system only flashes when there is an active incident.

How does SAWS work?
Powered by a proprietary wireless network (SAWSCOMTM), the system is designed to detect wrong way vehicles, activating a Traffic Sensing Device Trailer (TSDT) which then triggers communication to activate LED Wig-Wag Sign Trailers. The Edge-Lit advanced warning sign and beacons advise distracted drivers to turn around. The SAWS Wrong Way Driver Detection System only flashes when triggered by a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction. The system’s aiming function minimizes false triggers.
