A smart work zone or intelligent work zone refers to a site-specific configuration of traffic control technology deployed within a roadway work zone to:

  Reduce end of queue collisions by providing advanced warning of slowed or stopped traffic ahead

View real time traffic conditions and improve incident response time

Reduce queue lengths by implementing dynamic merge systems

  Provide drivers with alternate route information

  Provide expected travel times through the work zone or to a particular exit

Empower DOTs and contractors to make informed traffic control decisions

SMC 1000 ST
Three-Line Solar Message Center

Manufactured to the same quality standards Work Area Protection is
recognized for, the SMC 1000 ST meets all the requirements of the MUTCD,
while offering unparalleled ease of maintenance and programming.

Ease of Computer Programming

A user-friendly dedicated computer reduces the number of keys required to program the
Message Center. The unit provides NTCIP compliant functionality.

LED Lamp Pixel Design

The SMC 1000 ST uses 5 high-intensity, solid-state LEDs per 2-inch pixel. This creates
a more uniform light output in each pixel, resulting in increased message definition and
distance legibility.

Industrial Grade Structural Steel Trailer

The SMC 1000 ST uses a durable trailer system designed to provide years of
dependable service. The trailer’s high-quality powder-coat finish, 2″x 4″ 11-gauge steel
frame and a 3,500-pound suspension system enhance the overall quality of the unit.

Modular Electronic Componentry

The entire system was developed with the operator/end user in mind. Electronic
components are easily replaced, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. This
modularity also improves system diagnostics.
