Striving to exceed the highest industry standards & requirements
Safe
Versilis offers the only crash tested gates on the market. All horizontal gate models have successfully passed certified crash tests in the Work Zone Traffic Control Device category of products.
Importance of Crashworthiness
Crash testing is essential to evaluate Vehicle Occupant Risk in the event of a high speed impact into a deployed gate arm. Crashworthy gates must have successfully passed MASH Tests # 3-71 and 3-72. Amongst other criteria, these particular tests evaluate windshield damage when a vehicle crashes into the gate critical impact point at 62mph.
Key Occupant Risk Evaluation Criteria
- Driver’s vision not blocked by vehicular damage
- No penetration into the vehicle compartment
- No undue hazard from detached elements or debris
Railway Type Gate
not supplied by Versilis
MASH Test 3-71: FAIL
What you should notice in the above image
- Glass penetration, loss of driver visibility / control = HIGH Occupant Risk
- Railway type gate = NOT CRASHWORTHY
Versilis Gate
MASH Test 3-71: PASS
What you should notice in the above image
- No glass penetration, no loss of visibility / control = LOW Occupant Risk
- Versilis gate = CRASHWORTHY
Visible
All Versilis gate models offer an increased surface of retro-reflective sheeting surface facing traffic, as well as flashing LED lights, ensuring high visibility any time of day and in all weather environments.
Importance of High Visibility Gates
While the use of highly visible gates is essential to ensure motorists safety, it is also a critical feature for operators, as it maximizes compliance, reduces the risk of incidents, and consequently the need for repairs and maintenance.
Operational Benefits
- Reduced number of incidents
- Reduced maintenance interventions
- Reduced operational costs
What you should notice in the above image
- Skinny gate. Added flags or banners are non retroreflective and offers variable results, especially in windy conditions.
- Retroreflective surface per linear foot = 36 square inches
What you should notice in the above image
- Large gate. Added large chevron with flashing LED lights send a clear message to motorists
- Retroreflective surface per linear foot over 125 square inches (variable according to gate model)
Integrated
The Versilis Smart Hanhdheld Remote Control and the Versilis Commander are simple solutions for Local and Remote Control of various ITS field devices (warning signs, gates and more).
Importance of Integrated Solution
The integration of multiple ITS field devices can be complex and clients are turning to Versilis solutions for efficiency and peace of mind. Specifically designed for automated lane closure systems, the Versilis Smart Remote Control and Commander are highly configurable and thoroughly tested solutions allowing simplified integration and reduced implementation costs.
Integrated Solution Benefits
- Simplified integration
- Flexibility and scalability
- Reduced implementation costs
-
Both HRC and Commander can be used to execute pre-configured sequences of events, monitor devices’ status and provide feedback.
-
The Commander is used to integrate a variety of ITS field devices. It is the single piece of equipment required to handle all scenario of operation (SOPs) safely and efficiently.
Connected
Through a technology partnership with HAAS Alert, Versilis gates send digital lane closure alerts via Waze and vehicle infotainment systems.
-
Importance of Digital Alerts
While Versilis gates are highly visible to motorists, the ability to send lane closure digital alerts is a great tool to increase driver awareness and reduce risk of incidents caused by distracted driving.
Digital Alerts Benefits
- Increased driver awareness ahead of lane closure
- Reduced number of incidents
- Reduced maintenance interventions
-
-
Lane closure digital alerts are received by motorists through Waze, 0.5 miles ahead of lane shift, notifying drivers to slow down and move over.
-
Global automaker Stellantis (Dodge, RAM, JEEP, Chrysler) uses HAAS Alert Safety Cloud to deliver digital alerts through their vehicle infotainment systems.
