 Designed
specifically for on-foot traffic control. The MPE is
perfect for police, fire police, construction site traffic
controllers, etc. The average range is 300 to 500 feet, making
it perfect for urban and suburban traffic control situations
where a fixed vehicle-mounted product is either cost prohibitive
or impractical, or fails to increase the margin of safety for
those on-foot personnel.
Police and Fire Police are often called upon to direct emergency
vehicles that are unequipped with preemption through congested
intersections, as well as directing traffic around accident
scenes. Clearing the traffic lanes can be less hazardous and
difficult when the officer can preempt the intersection. When
emergency vehicles are converging upon an intersection from
several directions, an officer on foot has much greater traffic
control flexibility than a fixed vehicle-mounted unit.
In those situations where preemption would offer controlled
and extended traffic flow in one direction only, such as traffic
diversion around an accident or during construction/repair
at an intersection, a hand-held unit offers the greatest flexibility
while simultaneously increasing the margin for safety.
Perfect for testing intersection-equipped preemption detectors.
System testing within the intersection allows for the close
range observation of the changing traffic signal sequence.
The lower power output makes "benchmarking" the operational
reception range of the preemption detectors more accurate.
See the FAQ Testing & Benchmarking Preemption
Detectors for more information.
