Backup Traffic Power System

Green Light for faveo to provide continuous power to local traffic system

CHALLENGE

The Town of Lancaster in New York partnered with Viridi to be the FIRST municipality in North America to convert its traffic signals over to battery back-up and IoT management.

The program ensures that 8 of Lancaster’s busiest intersections maintain a resilient, uninterrupted supply of power.

Challenge

Power outages are dangerous for many reasons, one is when traffic signals are affected by power outages of any duration.  These outages are dangerous to drivers and passengers in vehicles but significantly also for first responders directing traffic.

Solution

The faveo system is a roadway intersection backup power system that uses Viridi battery technology and IoT functionality. During an interruption, the system instantaneously powers up, allowing traffic lights, police cameras, and other critical intersection technology to continue operating. This system ensures that emergency personnel can provide essential public safety services without having to manually direct traffic.

Result

The faveo backup power system provides resilient power and state of the art remote monitoring technology to improve community efficiency and safety.
