Abstract: A system and method of acquiring and maintaining location information associated with traffic apparatus deployed in connection with a traffic flow monitoring or regulation system are disclosed. In some implementations, an apparatus identifier may distinguish a particular traffic apparatus from others that are deployed in proximity, and a functional identifier may define a functionality of the particular traffic apparatus; positioning, orientation, and movement or acceleration data may also be provided for real-time or near real-time system applications. These apparatus data may be used to derive and to maintain a record of location data associated with each traffic apparatus deployed in a particular application.

Abstract: A mobile traffic light adaptable for a solar panel. An actuated arm is provided on a platform, the actuated arm having a first member and a second member collapsible on top of each other so that they can be folded for transport. The actuated arm is lifted to provide height and reach of the device and pivoted to position the device in a desired position. A solar panel mounted to the platform is provided under the collapsed actuated arm. The solar panel also tilts and rotates.
