Overview of TAPCO's Intelligent Warning Systems

From products shots to real life on location examples.

Curve Warning & Guidance Systems (CWGS™)

BlinkerBeam® wireless communication, BlinkSync™ synchronization & chevrons function dynamically to warn and guide motorists through a dangerous curve once activated; by directing the chevrons to flash sequentially - delivering the "pull-through" effect. The system flash pattern and timing are easily programmed wirelessly from the Windows-based software using a PC or laptop, enabling the user to tailor the flash sequence to match the speed of traffic and the size of the curve.


The day and night curve warning & guidance solution

Features & Advantages

  • Reduce speed-related crashes
  • Reduce head-on and cross-median crashes
  • Prevent/mitigate roadway departure crashes
  • Green, solar power - zero electrical costs
  • Delineates curves
  • Install anywhere

Further enhance with an advanced curve warning sign

A flashing LED Curve Warning BlinkerSign® warns drivers that they are approaching a curve early given them more time to react at critical areas like cliff drop offs.

Sequential Dynamic Curve Warning System, Empire CO

TAPCO's Dynamic Curve Warning Systems, or DCWS. These DCWS feature TAPCO's flashing LED BlinkerSign, which are solar-powered traffic signs enhanced with brilliant LEDs. The BlinkerSign provide advanced warning of and guidance through the curve, and are ITS-compatible.
