Wrong way driver detection

Wrong-way Driver Detection

Wrong way driving on busy roads and highways can have catastrophic outcomes. If a wrong way driver is not detected and dealt with instantly, they will be endangering the lives of themselves and other road users.

ClearWay can be installed at roadside for wrong way driver detection. The radar will detect the vehicle and alert operators within less than 10 seconds. This provides emergency services with the maximum time to reach the driver and intervene. It also allows operators time to activate necessary warning signs.
