Camera, radar and edge-AI trailer
Corridor backbone
Overview
A solar mast trailer with a 40× pan-tilt-zoom camera, two AI cameras and a side-fire radar. It gives operators eyes on the corridor and measures traffic in both directions, with travel-time, weather and satellite options.
Lookout watches the places where things go wrong: lane drops, bridges, steep grades and busy accesses. Operators can look at any of them from Command in seconds.
An edge computer on the trailer runs the video analytics locally and sends events, not a constant video stream. Faces and license plates are never stored.
What it does
Lookout at work
AI detection
Detects stopped vehicles, queues, wrong-way vehicles and taper crossings from two fixed cameras, one looking upstream and one downstream.
Traffic data
Side-fire radar measures speed, volume and occupancy per lane in both directions, every 60 seconds.
Options
A Bluetooth travel-time reader, a weather station (air temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind) and a standby satellite link where cellular coverage is weak.
See the weather station trigger the ice warning, with the same rules the system runs.

LaneWarden Pulse
Queue-detection radar trailer
A light solar mast trailer with a side-fire radar that measures speed, volume and occupancy in both directions. Pulses fill the gaps between the other nodes so a queue tail is always near a detection point.

LaneWarden Sentinel
Worker-protection trailer that alarms before a vehicle reaches the crew
A mast trailer at the upstream end of the taper or flagger station. Tracking radar and AI cameras watch the approach; when a vehicle is on course for the work space or cannot stop for the flagger, it sounds a 110 dB siren and strobes, texts the foreman and saves the video.

LaneWarden Messenger
Portable changeable message sign that measures the traffic it warns
A full-matrix portable message sign with a Doppler radar facing oncoming traffic. It posts queue, delay and hazard messages from an approved library, and falls back to a safe message on its own if its data stops.
