How AeroFlex is Changing the Game
Traffic signals do a lot more than guide drivers through intersections. They stand up to weather conditions from wind and ice to extreme temperatures, day after day. The backplate behind the signal head plays a critical role in visibility, but traditional designs come with a hidden cost: they dramatically increase the structural loads that stress the entire mounting system. Pelco Products set out to solve that problem, and the result is the AeroFlex flexible backplate.
TB2N1 Achieves FDOT Approval
Pelco Products is excited to announce that our TB2N1 has earned official approval from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The product is now listed on the FDOT Approved Products List (APL), a significant milestone that validates our commitment to quality, safety, and compliance with federal standards. For Florida municipalities, traffic engineers, and transportation departments, this approval opens new opportunities for procurement and project specification.
Introducing Guardian® Duo
For years, traffic authorities have faced an impossible choice when installing Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS): either accept a higher cost of installation and disruption due to running new wiring, or implement an existing 2-wire system that either doesn't perform as reliably in real-world conditions or requires the installation of even more components. The Guardian® Duo eliminates that compromise entirely.
Navigating the New BABA Requirements
The Federal Highway Administration’s Build America, Buy America (BABA) initiative introduces updated requirements for manufactured products used in highway and bridge construction. These changes are part of a broader regulatory shift aimed at increasing transparency, reshaping supply chain strategies, and reinforcing domestic manufacturing within federal infrastructure investments.

900MHz Radio vs Bluetooth®
In our increasingly interconnected world, wireless communication technologies have become essential. Two prominent options: 900MHz radio and 2.4GHz Bluetooth®, each offering distinct advantages for different applications. Understanding their unique characteristics is crucial for selecting the right technology.
TLPI® White Paper
It is widely acknowledged that optimal pedestrian road-crossing occurs at designated crosswalks when the pedestrian signal displays a walk indication. Generally, adherence to this practice ensures successful and uneventful road crossings. Nevertheless, instances arise wherein adherence to these fundamental guidelines results in conflicts between pedestrians and drivers.
Active Infrared vs Radar
By delving into the intricacies of active infrared and radar sensors, and carefully evaluating their strengths and weaknesses in in pedestrian push button (PPB) and accessible pedestrian signal (APS) applications, users can make well-informed decisions when selecting the optimal product for their requirements. With a plethora of touchless actuation products featuring various sensors available in the market, the choice between an active infrared sensor and a radar sensor can profoundly influence the reliability and effectiveness of a product. While both technologies diligently detect motion, the crux lies in selecting the most suitable technology for the task at hand. Through a comprehensive understanding of the nuances inherent to each sensor type, users can aptly discern which technology aligns best with their specific needs.
