A trial is underway for automated FDR signs whereby 14 signs have been placed in high risk locations around the state. The trial commenced in December 2011.
There are two types of signs, one is an LED format with highlighted panels and no needle, the other has a motorised needle. Both have message panels at the base and are remotely updated via sophisticated software.
Evaluation is taking place for both sign formats and a survey has been set up for valuable feedback from members. For CFA members to participate in the survey please click on the link http://www.strahan-research.com/xRybGixw and follow the prompts.
Please also feel free to pass this onto brigade members who you believe would have seen the automated signs and would like the opportunity to provide input into the future of this project.
