Or, a new hood? Are the lights in snow country really at risk?

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?


Reach a maximum height

of 25.6 feet ?

Address multiple configurations ?

Protect LED energy savings and long life

HEAT?


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

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


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.


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.


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?

5Do 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


Some Other Applications

Solar Panels

Street Signs

And, Effective on Volcanic Ash!!


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.
