en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK-based King Highway has launched new Enhanced Mobile Lane Closure (EMCC) vehicles and is offering short-term rental services through its leasing division, King Rental, to lower the barrier to adopting safety technology in the industry.
The digital technology of the EMCC, developed by King Highway in collaboration with Race Technology, actively connects the work area with upstream EMCC vehicles performing rolling closures, issuing an immediate alert when an unauthorized vehicle enters the closed zone. The vehicle is equipped with a police-approved ANPR camera system, which can be used for subsequent prosecution of intrusions and also serves as a camera enforcement vehicle. The system meets all GG117 operational requirements and features dual SIM cards to connect to two different mobile networks simultaneously, ensuring stable communication.
In the event of an intrusion, the operator interface inside the cab receives an immediate alert. Staff can monitor the system through a menu-driven platform, and the emergency alarm function can send warnings to on-site devices. An optional wearable alarm device operates on a license-free radio frequency, adding an extra layer of protection for personnel in the work area. The technology supports simultaneous connection and management of up to 16 units. Operators can access system data and performance information through an online user portal and review event records using court-admissible analysis software.
The system is housed in a dedicated rugged enclosure, with an internal battery providing up to 84 hours of standby or 20 hours of continuous real-time operation, and can also be powered by an external power source.
Traffic management providers can use and evaluate the technology on a daily rental basis without the capital investment required to purchase dedicated vehicles. James Richmond, Managing Director of King Group, stated that the company helps the industry gain practical experience before making deployment decisions through short-term rentals, thereby boosting adoption confidence.
