Our High Water Detection Systems play a critical role in public safety by delivering early warnings to motorists and preventing dangerous encounters with flooded roadways. AEM Elements 360 (formerly Contrail) enhances these systems by providing a command-and-response platform for automated remote control of warning devices. Whether it’s flashing beacons, Dynamic Message Signs, or automated barrier gates, AEM Elements 360 enables timely activation of alerts that help drivers stay out of harm’s way.
The software integrates seamlessly with monitoring equipment, including rainfall sensors, stream gauges, and video cameras, allowing for comprehensive situational awareness. Operators can view real-time data, manage thresholds, and trigger alerts through intuitive dashboard displays. In addition, AEM Elements 360 supports automated data sharing with the National Weather Service, public websites, and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) used by Traffic Management Centers.
By delivering actionable insights and automated control, AEM Elements 360 empowers agencies to improve public safety, streamline response times, and ensure accurate, timely communication during high water events.
