Creating Safer Working Environments
“This is what we call innovation and it comes from the heart. This brilliant solution can protect site workers on a daily basis and will really save lives” Judges comment Construction News Awards 2013
Highway Maintenance & COnstruction
Intellicone has been designed to suit large, complex work sites where there may be multiple safety perimeters, access points and work crews. The Portable Site Alarm Y Series (PSA) and Traffic Management Unit S Series (TMU) are web enabled devices which can be connected to create a site with no limitations in site geography. Each PSA and TMU are equipped with GPRS/GSM and GPS. This means that the location and status of each device is logged and displayed onto the Intellicone webportal.
TMU's are designed to be installed near remote barriers or works access points and will relay a breach to PSA's on the same site regardless of their distance from the barrier.
Intellicone integrates seamlessly with existing traffic management regulations and practises. During the traffic management design process, Intellicone enabled contact sensors (cone lamps) and/or contactless sensors (Sentry Ulrasonic Beam) are included in high risk areas. This makes deployment straightforward and means that no additional time is required for traffic management deployment.
In order to set up an Intellicone enabled worksite traffic management operatives position a combination of contact and non contact sensors at designated areas in compliance with existing protocols. In order for workcrews to receive a breach alarm at unlimited distance from the barrier the traffic management crew will then deploy either a PSA or TMU depending on preference.
The Intellicone Traffic Management Unit (TMU) complements the Intellicone Portable Site Alarm (PSA) which is used by the workforce. The TMU has been designed for use near remote barriers and on unmanned sites. In contrast to the PSA the TMU blends into its environment and does not attract unwanted attention preventing malicous removal or interference witht the system.
The TMU is able to send and receive signals to and from Intellicone sensors (lamps and Sentry ultrasonic beam) and will relay this alert to:
i) PSAs set to the same unique worksite identifier
ii) selected mobile phones (i.e. TM crew and TSCO) via SMS
iii) the Intellicone Web Portal
A TMU must be placed within 30-50 meters of an Intellicone sensor but there is no limit in the distance between it and the PSAs set to the same site identifier. This is achieved via the in-built GPRS/GSM/GPS module which connects directly to the Intellicone secure server. The TMU has an internal motion sensor which is automatically activitated 10 seconds after it is deployed. When moved and tilted whilst in operation it will alarm and issue alerts.
Three simple steps to create an Intellicone enabled worksite
1. Deploy Intellicone enabled lamps and/or Intellicone Sentry
Deploy traffic management as per traffic management drawings and Chapter 8 regulations (UK) using Intellicone enabled lamps and sensors in designated areas.
Intellicone enabled lamps will provide an alert if they are pushed, impact or tilted.
If relevant deploy Intellicone Sentry at manned or unmanned works entrance points. The Sentry will support a gatesman picking up errant vehicles whilst being able to be temporary switched off to allow legitimate works vehicles to enter site. At unmanned gates, the Sentry can be used in conjunction with Intellicone lamps.
2. Deploy Traffic Management Unit
Once the traffic management has been deployed place Intellicone TMU or PSA (depending on preference) within 50 meters of an Intellicone enabled barrier (lamps or Sentry). Prior to deployment ensure that the correct unique site reference has been entered via text message. Fasten the TMU to a cone, sign, frame or other relevant road furniture and deploy the unit or fit the PSA onto a cone. The TMU/PSA will now connect to the Intellicone web server, enabling work crew PSA on the same unique site reference to receive the alarm with limitation in distance.
Once traffic management has been deployed, work crews can enter the worksite. Each work crew is issued with a PSA Y-Series set to the same site reference as the Intellicone enabled barriers. A simple two button operation will activate the system. Remote re-setting function means that the system can be re-set from any device within the workzone.
