Emergency Signage System

The system works based on the buoy systems.It allows the user to place them in any necessary area with ease.

The weight is connected to the system’s cable and thrown in the water.

The weight reaches the bottom of the water while the buoy stays in the surface.

If the water level raises, the cable in the system is released to adapt to this changes.

Signs can have different shapes as long as they have the generic fixing mechanism.

Signs can be changed in-situ and without the need of taking the whole system out of the water.

Public Roadside Water Level Indicator Roadside Water Level Indicator

The system is composed by three parts.

•The display and energy (solar) unit.•The pylon, which has inner sensors communicating with the main unit.

•Floating ring, which moves depending on the level of the water. Once it reaches a sensor, the display shows the water level.

Details:•Sensors placed every few centimeters along the pylon.

•The system can be placed on the side walk with the help of a simple fixing system or connected to a weighted anchor to allow its placement anywhere.

•The system is powered by solar energy.
