 OmniVOX™ is a recent research and development (R&D) project of Nufer and
Associates.
It operates as a remote (standalone or networked)
intelligent controller for ITS and other applications with the
ability to interact with its immediate environment.
Based on user programmable parameters it is able to provide control
of existing visual display signs and other devices, as well as
vocalise the resulting messages.
Vocalisation Capability
By far its most interesting aspect however is its ability to provide
an endless repertoire of spoken audible alerts via two-way radio or
other audible media such as public address systems.
Messages can be predefined in a memory chip, or recorded
on-the-fly through the local recording interface. This allows for
emergency messages to be changed to suit prevailing conditions with
little or no lead-time.
Applications
Its immediate application has been in the detection and speed
sensing of trucks in road construction sites, where it provides a
spoken message to trucks via their CB radio to slow down, based on
their level of excess speed.
However OmniVOX™ can annunciate any message to users
including meteorological information for road, aviation; danger
situations including rail crossings, state emergency services,
up-to-the-minute messaging regards local conditions.
Standalone Configuration
The pictured solution comprises a standalone
configuration incorporating all electronics and surveillance within
a trailer.
Antennas
An integrated and continuously adjustable 9 metre mast is
able to support a range of antennas. In addition the trailer
configuration has the ability to accommodate other 3rd party radio
communications equipment.
