With trucks logging more than 50 billion vehicle miles on the nation's roads,
more maintenance and more work zones increases the opportunity for more
accidents. Higher speeds, inattentive driving and closer spacing contribute
to rear-end vehicle collisions and hazardous conditions for road construction
workers.
The Wizard® is designed to provide
advanced warning of impending traffic
slowdowns to give all vehicles, especially
heavy trucks, the necessary time to stop.
The Wizard is a completely portable
wireless broadcasting system adaptable to
any work site, sending localized messages
on selected CB channels.
The Wizard counts down the selected
interval for sending, listens for a break in
activity on channels 9 and 19 (or other
user selected and emergency CB chan-
nels), and broadcasts when clear. Care is
taken to not interfere with normal CB
communication between vehicles.
A short message alerts the driver to slow down. The message can be broad-
cast on a second user selected channel if desired. Messages can be changed
at the site, broadcast distances adjusted for traffic backup, and message
frequency modified to compensate for average speeds.
