Abstract: Herein is described an invention that efficiently detects and reports vehicle impact with fixed or temporary roadway safety devices. A multitude of sensors may report road events via a single cellular or fiber optic gateway thereby substantially reducing acquisition and recurring cost. The use of a mesh network to connect these sensors provides low duty cycle monitoring. Extremely low-power circuity that allows for multi-year battery life of small, light-weight solar photovoltaic panel is achievable through precise node-to-node timing. Radio transmission and reception is limited to a few milliseconds in each second. The novel mesh network architecture does not utilize an external coordinating signal, timing signal, or connection. Synchrony is maintained internal to the mesh network. Duty cycles of less than approximately 0.01% are achievable.
