Abstract
A traffic control device transmitter. The transmitter includes a mount that attaches the transmitter to a traffic control device and a transmission element that transmits identification information and location information corresponding to the traffic control device. Preferably, the traffic control device transmitter also includes storage for storing the identification information and the location information. The location information can be pre-stored location information, or the transmitter can also include a location detection element, for example a Global Positioning System, that determines the location information.
Also, a traffic control device information display system. This system includes a receiver that receives information from a traffic control device transmitter for a traffic control device, a processor that processes the information to determine identification information and location information for the traffic control device, and a display that displays the identification information and the location information to an operator.
Additionally, a traffic control device information relay and display system that relays information from transmitters to a central office.
