Road work is dangerous. When cars and people collide, who wins?
Removes human flagger from the road
Wireless or cabled remote control
Intuitive easy-to-use controller
Battery powered and solar charging
Tandem tow or optional nested tow
Nearly 40 percent of pedestrian fatalities in work zones are roadway workers who are struck by vehicles. The Wanco AFAD addresses worker safety by removing the human flagger from the road. Operated by remote control, one worker can manage one or two AFADs from a safe distance, limiting exposure and liability. The Wanco AFAD meets MUTCD standards for automated flagger assistance devices, featuring highly visible 12-inch red and yellow signal lights and a red-and-white reflectorized gate arm to control right-of-way. A “breakaway” gate arm is optional. The flagger–operator can choose either of the two included remote controls, a wireless touchscreen or cabled push-button. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and easy to use. The main control screen prevents the user from opening both gates. Deploying the Wanco AFAD is simple, quick and easy, allowing a worker to set up the unit in a few minutes. Tandem towing is standard, where allowed by local regulations.
