Berghaus-News Issue
BERGHAUSNEWS Issue 55 ⋅ June / July 2017 Dear Readers, Extending the production area for vehicle construction Traffic Technology ⋅ Mobile Crash Barriers ⋅ berghaus-verkehrstechnik.de This 55 th issue of the Berghaus News once again brings interesting news to your attention. The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure has decided to increase the investment resources for the Transport Infrastructure Plan. We can therefore expect a considerable increase in construction work, with the need for professional protection of the corresponding roadworks. Here we will gladly support you with innovative products and professional services for your traffic safety. In view of the considerable growth of the AVS Group in recent years, in February we invited all employees to attend a company event in Berlin, where we celebrated and reinforced our community spirit and prepared ourselves for the tasks ahead. With immediate effect, our vehicle construction team working in Kürten-Eichhof now has more space for manufacturing mobile LED pre-warners and mobile warning trailers. At the same time the workforce has also been increased, with now altogether eight employees in the „Mobile Warning Trailers“ department. We offer a whole range of different warning signs for the professional traffic safety of urban, country and main roads as well as motorways. For example, we also make LED add-on pre-warners without a trailer that can be set quickly on a flatbed vehicle when the need arises. Furthermore, we produce do-it-yourself warning sign kits for road signs number 615 and 616-31 which customers can fasten to their own vehicles. The LED pre-warners or mobile warning trailers made by our vehicle construction team are approved for use on the roads at speeds of up to 100 km/h. All advance warning lights and illuminated arrows used in the mobile warning trailers are already equipped ex works with energysaving but bright LED technology, naturally BASt-tested. Depending on the specific model and customer requirements, various additional features are available as extensions for series types SM (for road signs number 615 and 616-31) and AM (for road sign number 616-30), including for example larger battery compartments with processor-controlled electronic battery charger, loading area with drive-on ramp and winch to take an LED pre-warner, radio remote control, electric device for raising and lowering the upper section of the warning sign and further options.

But did you know that even our mobile traffic light system MPB 3400 can be actuated by local public transport vehicles? To this end, we use a special radio receiver (FEE) that receives, filters, analyses and processes the data radio messages emitted by buses and possibly also trams. Selective actuation of the mobile traffic light controller then takes place according to the specified configuration. For mobile, off-grid operation, we have put the FEE in a waterproof housing with an antenna and equipped it accordingly for 12 V operation from the traffic light controller. The FEE is simply mounted at the rear of any MPB 3400 traffic-light head and plugged into the central input of the traffic light control. Just one single cable provides the 12 V power supply for the FEE and serves at the same time to actuate the traffic light. By the way, it is irrelevant whether the MPB 3400 is being used for alternating one-way traffic, T-junctions or crossroads control, because only one FEE is needed for all directions. The required data messages are evaluated in accordance with the customer’s specific requirements according to direction and vehicle and forwarded immediately to the MPB 3400 control. All traffic light signal heads are then actuated according to the required local public transport priority functionality via the internal radio or cable system of the MPB 3400. The modular structure of our mobile radio receiver for 12 V operation means that local public transport priority functionality can be added even to an alternating one-way traffic system in the roadworks with just a couple of simple actions. Local public transport vehicles, such as service buses or trams, can also be given priority at mobile traffic light systems. The additional module „FEE“ evaluates the data messages from the vehicle and then actuates for our example our mobile traffic light system MPB 3400.
