Product news: Digital construction site monitoring with the A08-Beacon sensor

Roadworks lead to restrictions on road traffic, traffic jams, and emissions pollution. Planning the establishment and duration of roadworks is often delayed. Up-to-date roadworks overviews are a basis for better traffic management.

Automated roadworks monitoring using a sensor in the beacon light

Our A08-Beacon sensor integrated into the beacon light automatically detects the installation and progress of roadworks. When the beacon is switched on, the sensor sends its precise position and the set-up time to the construction site information system on the server.

Additional information such as the battery charge status, inclination, air pressure and temperature are recorded with each measurement. If the beacon is moved or knocked over, the motion sensor triggers a new measurement with data transmission to the server.

Extension for smart city applications

In principle, the A08-Beacon sensor is a data logger with its own management software and data transmission. The position is determined via an integrated GNSS sensor. The use of the A08 sensor for storing and transmitting data from external sensors for smart city applications is currently being investigated.

Relevant information for local authorities and citizens includes air pollution (particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide) and street traffic density. The measurement data from the sensors is recorded via an interface with the A08 sensor and transmitted to the server via a secure connection.
