TFC for Loading/Unloading Area & Pedestrian/Vehicle Interaction
The above drawing shows a range of options being utilised such as;
• A designated “Drivers Waiting Area”
• Sensors to notify when vehicles are in a designated zone
• Cross-SAFE Gates with magnetic Interlocks
• TFC Safety Rail

How it Works
Drivers Waiting Area:
This has been placed in a location to allow the driver to safely access to/from their vehicle, and also to be able to access the office area inside.

Cross-SAFE Gates:
When a pedestrian opens the Cross-SAFE Gate, the Yellow LED lights at the gates and out side at the roller-door entry are activated to let vehicles know that a pedestrian is crossing. The gates are operated on a timer function to allow 8-seconds for the pedestrian to cross once the gate is opened.

Sensors for Vehicle Detection:
When a vehicle is detected by the either inside or outside of the roller-door, the Cross-SAFE Gates are magnetically locked and the Red LED lights are activated. Once the vehicle is no longer detected, the gates are unlocked and the lights turn off. The additional red LED lights are located at the inside and outside of the roller-door to notify other vehicle that another vehicle is on the other side of the roller-door (i.e. If the sensor detects a vehicle on the inside, then the outside Red LED light is activated).

TFC Safety Rail:
The TFC Safety rail provides a designated and separated walkway for pedestrians. This is an advantage for delivery drivers that may not be familiar with the site who are now provided with clear direction.

The various components used in this example can be altered to suit almost any facility and operation. The TFC system is completely flexible in how it can be programmed to suit your requirements.

Each item in the diagram can also be purchased seperately, so if your facility already has safety rails, then simply add in the various controls required.
