WWD-MX

Prevent wrong-way collisions before they happen

The WWD-MX system is a cost-effective, comprehensive, and configurable solution for preventing collisions. Typically installed at or near freeway exit ramps—the primary origin of wrong-way events—WWD-MX is a “smart module” design. It can be configured with LED-enhanced signs or beacons to alert wrong-way drivers and encourage self-correction. Multiple signs can be installed along a ramp to help get drivers’ attention before they enter the main roadway. Adding optional radar to a unit further enhances safety; when the radar unit detects a wrong-way vehicle, the system activates the LEDs to warn the driver of their error while triggering actionable email and text alerts to MX Cloud™.​ The WWD-MX system monitors highway ramps 24 hours daily for wrong-way vehicles without interfering with other traffic detection systems. ​

Free out-of-the-box connectivity

WWD-MX systems have connectivity embedded into their design, making installation easy. From the moment a system receives power, it is ‘online’ and accessible both locally via the MX Field App™ and remotely via our web-based software, MX Cloud™.​

Timely and actionable alerts

Cities can enable email and text alerts to notify of wrong-way events or other issues like knockdowns or dead batteries.

Comprehensive asset visibility and data collection

System statuses are available at any time in MX Cloud. Users log in to view their systems in a map or list view, bringing together numerous geographically dispersed assets in a single, centralized location. The GPS map provides visibility and enables streamlined, proactive asset management and future planning.

Three reasons to choose an MX Series wrong way detection system:

1. MX Field App^™ is free forever and provides easy local access to system programs and settings
2. Every system includes three years of FREE remote connectivity with MX Cloud^™
3. Modular design makes for faster installation and better, richer system data

MX Flasher Modules

The WWD-MX system can be configured with MX Beacon or MX LED Sign modules. All Carmanah MX series flasher modules meet MUTCD Standard (2A.12) for flashing beacons and LED-enhanced signage. MX Beacon Modules are available in 12” (305 mm) or 8” (203) mm) diameter sizes. MX Sign Modules (R5-1a Wrong Way and R5-1 Do Not Enter) are standard 42” signs.

MX Flasher Module Mounting

MX flasher modules can be mounted in a variety of configurations (others available):

MX Power Modules

Four MX Power Module options—available in both solar and AC power—allow MX Series systems to operate reliably in any location. Compact, integrated solar and battery systems can mount to a variety of square and round poles and install quickly. Cabinet-based systems come in compact and standard cabinet sizes, can be powered by solar or AC and can accommodate additional third-party devices.

Optional: MX Single Zone Radar Unit

Adding optional radar to a unit further enhances safety; when the radar unit detects a wrong-way vehicle, the system activates the LEDs to warn the driver of their error while triggering actionable email and text alerts to MX Cloud™.

We put solar to work^™

Whether your project application is a crosswalk, school zone, or 24-hour sign marking, we can run a comprehensive site assessment to confirm the best solar-powered flashing beacon for your project. We run a field-proven software simulation to create a Solar Power Report™ to show you how we did it. Best of all? It’s free, and we can have it ready in 24 hours.
