An illuminated sensing edge assembly has an axially elongate, triple tiered body including a first track, a second track and a third track. The first track is configured to connect with a swing gate barrier arm such that the body underlies the barrier arm when mounted thereto. The second track is constructed of an at least translucent material. An LED strip axially extends through the second channel and is configured to emit light to notify individuals of the barrier arm. A sensing edge underlies the body and is secured to the third track. The sensing edge is configured to elicit a stoppage or reversal of a closing operation of the barrier arm upon a force being applied to the sensing edge.

A crane mat having first and second side beams or boards; a core structure made of pine or other softwoods, eucalyptus, solid plastic or elastomeric members, or hollow thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or elastomeric members that optionally include a filler or internal reinforcing structure; external components including an upper and/or lower layers of one or more elongated members to protect the core structure, and a plurality of joining members that attach the outer side members to the core structure. Another crane mat can be made of just the solid plastic or elastomeric members, or hollow thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or elastomeric members that each include a plurality of spaced lateral apertures passing therethrough; and joining members that include a rod that passes through the aligned lateral apertures to hold the members together in the mat. These crane mats may also include lifting elements of the types described herein.

A traffic control light strip supports a plurality of light emitting diode illumination devices within a plurality of LED units upon an elongated supporting strip. A power and control unit responsive to operator inputs is operatively coupled to the LED units to provide selective illumination patterns of the light emitting diodes. The traffic control light strip is supported by a flexible elongated base member which allows the entire traffic control light strip to be rolled upon a storage reel from a deployed configuration to a convenient storage configuration. In an alternate embodiment, the traffic control light strip includes a pair of extendable hinge coupled support members that facilitate folding the traffic control light strip to a closed transport and storage configuration.

A flashing beacon may include a signal unit, a control unit associated with the signal unit, a solar panel or collector, and an activation device that may all be mounted or otherwise positioned on a post of a roadway sign. Light units associated with the signal unit may be programmed to flash on and off in a unique wig-wag pattern. Further, a light bar may also be used with the beacon to generate an intense flash of light soon after activation of the beacon as an additional means of grabbing the attention of the operator of a vehicle.

A traffic control system and method in which a sensor and processor interact with road modules to illuminate and/or cause to flash in response to predetermined road surface and/or traffic conditions. The system and method can be configured to interact with road signals such as traffic control signals or traffic information signals. The system and method can further be configured to interact with on-board computers of vehicles including autonomous vehicles.

A permeable paver and modular light system for making a parking space or a traffic lane using at least one replaceable lighting module or a plurality of replaceable lighting modules, wherein the replaceable lighting module or the plurality of replaceable modules have at least one power supply and at least one light source. The permeable paver and modular light system have a controller configured to turn on and off the replaceable lighting module individually or as a group, change a color of the replaceable lighting module individually or as a group, illuminate a configuration of the replaceable lighting module individually or as a group based on a stored configuration, and change the illuminated configuration of the replaceable lighting module individually or as a group. The permeable paver and modular light system have a plurality of permeable pavers to form a surface for supporting a load of a vehicle.
