Overview
3.1
Product Overview
The AGPS is an Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) designed for simple, stand-alone
operation. It doesn’t require the normal two conductor pedestrian field wiring, so it can be used
at fixed time intersections where the wiring is not typically installed.
The AGPS provides all of the standards features for an APS as defined by the MUTCD as well
as additional features based on local specifications. A locator tone, tells a pedestrian that the
crossing is equipped with APS and where it can be found. An extended press provides specific
intersection information and access to additional functions. The audible walk tone or message is
accompanied by a vibro-tactile indication during the visual walk display. Optional clearance
phase indications may provide additional information to the pedestrian where appropriate
Each Advisor Guide Pedestrian Signal is configured at the factory based on the documentation
provided by the customer. Configuring the AGPS is done using the provided AGPS Utility and a
USB cable so the customer can reconfigure the system as needed.
