Green Light Deicers, LLC Is there a problem that requires more than a broom? Or, a new hood? Are the lights in snow country really at risk?
Green Light Deicers, LLC Would a mobile anti / deicing device make sense? It would not require retrofitting every intersection It could be flexibly deployed to meet changing weather and road conditions including construction projects It could provide an interim solution while retrofitting was slotted into the normal PM schedule It can draw upon aircraft anti/deicing experience What would a mobile deicing unit possibly require?
Green Light Deicers, LLC Reach a maximum height of 25.6 feet ? Address multiple configurations ? Protect LED energy savings and long life HEAT?
Green Light Deicers, LLC Further Requirements Don’t cause traffic jams Don’t bust budgets Use existing resources Piggyback on truck bed and provide a Boom Piggyback on a Boom equipped truck Solution: Deicer Trucks
Green Light Deicers, LLC Both integrate standard components to store and spray agents and capture run off for future recycling or disposal. Anti-Icing & Deicing agents are stored in 50 gal drums with warmers Agents are pumped up to spray lights A pan captures runoff. Gravity feeds runoff into a tank
Green Light Deicers, LLC Off-the-shelf products are integrated into the control package Objectives: minimize training expense and prevent damage GPS integrated with Public Works GIS database semi-positions vehicle and sets boom/sprayer height.This can be integrated with routing & scheduling software to help plan and manage operations. Camera and ‘deicer type’ joy stick control console guide to light array (we borrowed existing aircraft deicer technology) Collision avoidance radar and/or ‘deicer type’ physical extension prevents light damage (employed by aircraft deicers) Camera integrated with pattern recognition software determines light configuration and calls up appropriate robotics subroutine Another option: ‘homing chip’ on the light lens A fan system can be integrated with the run-off pan to better capture initial run-off and re-circulate until treatment is complete.
Green Light Deicers, LLC Temporary pickup truck installation Climate controlled Cabinet insert contains tanks, pumps, recycling equipment, crane motor and monitors/controls Boom holds hoses, spray-recycle assembly and detection gear Recycle basin extends under light array to capture sprayer run off. Sprayer pole(s) address multiple traffic light configurations Remote monitoring and control box is located in cab for easy operation by driver Off-the-shelf cost- effective cameras and directing equipment guide the application An independent gasoline powered generator supports all electrical, pumping and environmental control systems.
Green Light Deicers, LLC Would a standard warning light array on the rear of the vehicle provide adequate traffic control? Your input would be much appreciated Is the recycling function necessary? Can sewer systems adequately accommodate treating agents? Would you pay more for a non-recycled ‘green’ agent?
Green Light Deicers, LLC Do you need all lights treated or just RED? Must all signals be treated? Application Nozzle Design Boom Design This also determines time to treat the intersection
Green Light Deicers, LLC Some Other Applications Solar Panels Street Signs And, Effective on Volcanic Ash!!
Green Light Deicers, LLC Is there a real need to treat LED lights to prevent ice and snow build up? Would this device fulfill your requirements? Preliminary estimate: $1,000 per month on a 5-year lease Can that be justified in your budget? Thanks for your input.
