THE "BATT CAVE"

This week, we are excited to introduce to you a revolutionary new product from Brown Traffic's Eagle Division.

The "Batt Cave" Riser Base, which made its debut earlier this year at the IMSA National Conference is designed to hold up to (4) four batteries for use in a battery backup system.

Batt Cave Riser Base

The Batt Cave provides tremendous customer savings
as it combines the functionality of a battery back-up cabinet with the utility of a riser base.

The Batt Cave will be on display at our upcoming user's groups, but you can learn more about this exciting new product here: The Batt Cave by Eagle.

TRAFFIC TIP

In our last newsletter, we discussed Volume Density-Variable Initial and how to program those components. This week we are addressing the possibility of commercial truck traffic on the arterial. Will 10 trucks be counted during the phase red? Even 1 or 2 trucks could disrupt this counting concept.
