Portable Power for Traffic Lights in Rural Greater City of Bendigo

State: Bendigo, VIC
Date: 2019

Frequent power outages in rural areas of Greater Bendigo posed a challenge for maintaining consistent traffic flow. The customer needed a portable and reliable power backup to keep traffic lights operational during disruptions. The solution had to:

• Be lightweight enough for quick deployment across multiple locations.
• Provide sufficient backup power to prevent traffic delays and improve road safety.
• Work reliably outdoors and integrate smoothly with existing traffic management systems.
  

Without a backup solution in place, traffic control would be compromised, increasing congestion and safety risks at key intersections.

To meet these requirements, PSS supplied two XL+ 3kVA UPS units equipped with lithium batteries. Lithium technology enhanced portability by reducing weight while maintaining high energy capacity. The units provided:

• A lightweight and transport-friendly design, making relocation between sites effortless.
• Longer battery life compared to traditional UPS systems, ensuring extended operation.
• Reliable backup power to keep traffic lights functional during unexpected outages.
  

The system was easy to set up and required minimal manual intervention, allowing quick response teams to move and activate the units as needed.

The portable UPS solution ensured uninterrupted operation of traffic lights across multiple rural locations in Greater Bendigo. The deployment led to:

• Improved traffic safety and flow, reducing risks during outages.
• Greater operational flexibility, as the units could be rapidly transported between sites.
• Reliable power stability, minimising disruptions in high-risk intersections.
  

By addressing both power continuity and mobility needs, the solution provided a cost-effective and efficient approach to managing rural traffic signals.

• Two XL+ 3kVA UPS units with lithium batteries supplied for traffic signal backup.
• Lightweight, portable design for easy deployment across multiple locations.
• Reliable power support, improving safety and reducing traffic disruptions.
