After that I worked with a company that worked with ADOT, was laid off but they allowed me to take all the customers with me and start a company from there. Having my own company allowed me to delve into more exotic traffic products. \u00a0Brought in other systems like fire systems, radio control systems, etc. 18 years in business now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I go to the trade shows, meet the customers, and more.\u00a0 Created this company to address traffic needs in areas where they couldn\u2019t get AC electricity to run the equipment.\u00a0 We are an engineering and manufacturing company, we do not do installs. \u00a0Based in Tempe. We have a mixed bag of customers &#8211; we deal directly with municipalities, working a lot with ADOT these days.\u00a0 We also work with the county and the state. Outside of Arizona a lot of distributors are family-based traffic businesses. A lot of family businesses, distribute a full range of traffic control products. \u00a0Video detection equipment etc. these businesses are already calling on a customer base that we want to talk with. They\u2019ll work to get our products spec\u2019d in to help us that sets us apart from our competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-Height-Limit-Warning-Sign-Phoenix-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-Height-Limit-Warning-Sign-Phoenix-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-Height-Limit-Warning-Sign-Phoenix-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><strong>What are your main products &amp; how did you recognize a need for these?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main products that we do are school zone flashers &#8212; 24\/7 hazard flashers, pedestrian safety systems, advanced sensors for crosswalks, wireless and wired sensors. \u00a0Game crossing systems on highways. Radar signs and specialty projects.\u00a0 We did one project on a runaway truck ramp on Highway 87 near Payson.\u00a0 Cameras are activated by sensors and take pictures there when a truck crashes on the ramp it emails pictures to ADOT.\u00a0 The system also radio&#8217;s up the hill and turns on a warning system that warns other truck drivers. Sometimes when we were setting up the system we would see 1-2 trucks per day pull over to let brakes cool down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4073 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-School-Zone-2-206x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"552\" height=\"804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-School-Zone-2-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-School-Zone-2-768x1117.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-School-Zone-2-704x1024.jpg 704w, https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-School-Zone-2.jpg 1769w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><strong>How does the design and manufacturing process look at Solar Traffic Controls?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of that stuff we do here in the house.\u00a0 A few years ago they came up with different types of crosswalk systems here where they used different flash patterns to attract attention from the motorists. \u00a0The flash patterns they required forced us to develop a light driver circuit to perform the flash patterns needed. Typically we\u2019ll design by taking a trip to Circuit Specialists to get some parts needed, PIC microcontrollers, and things like that for prototyping.\u00a0 In order to do thermal tests we&#8217;ll apply heat and even use dry ice to test cold conditions.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a crude thermal system but it&#8217;s good for baseline testing. Have seen things fail when testing under various temperature conditions.\u00a0 We use Eagle PCB for design, a lot of times the first prototype will be one breadboard then we\u2019ll head over to one of the computers to do our first board. \u00a0Use acetate sheets then iron them onto the <a href=\"\/printed-circuit-board-fabrication\">PCB sheets<\/a> from your store. We&#8217;ll then drill and populate it and begin testing the first board, make any changes, make the housing, then we may go to a local board shop like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avanticircuits.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Avanti Circuits<\/a> to have boards made. Now we have the first PC Board that we have a base, from there we\u2019ll make changes. In production, we go to surface mount components.\u00a0 When my son Victor worked here we even bought a reflow oven to mount some of the SMD&#8217;s ourselves.\u00a0 We would buy the flux paste from Circuit Specialists and hand apply it to the boards and then reflow it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4072 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-School-Zone-1-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"378\" height=\"671\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><strong>Do you also supply the batteries with your solar traffic systems?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, we do.\u00a0 We have fairly large battery boxes. \u00a0A lot of parts and pieces end up as a smaller sub-assembly on a big electronics panel.\u00a0 We use around a 15\u201d x 17\u201d x 15\u201d cabinet to house all the electronics.\u00a0 The typical size might be a 12\u201d LED for schools so you&#8217;re talking about a 1.25 Amp draw to meet the optical output the Institute Transportation Engineers (ITE) mandates.\u00a0 You must follow rules set by them and by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Devices (MUTCD).\u00a0 The document is put together by the Federal Highway Administration. There are different regulations for Vertical vs horizontal and even sign sheeting.\u00a0 \u00a0Traffic moves very orderly in here and Canada, traffic signs are not a suggestion in this country they are a rule. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>Does geographic location play into the system design at all?\u00a0 Do you use larger batteries in Canada than you would in Arizona for instance?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We use solar databases that we go to determine irradiation in a specific location NREL has a book that they put out every few years, from that you can buy databases to size the solar array and battery bank to meet the objectives of the project and loads you wish to run. A Flint, Michigan system would be completely different than one in Arizona.\u00a0 You also look at the latitude and you need to look for shading problems in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>Do your PV cells track the sun? <\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking doesn\u2019t really make sense because it is another part to be flapping around in the high wind.\u00a0 The DOT likes to minimize the number of moving parts in order to minimize maintenance. The cost of the tracker assembly would be equal or more to adding another PV cell to the system and would require more maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>It sounds like that between Circuit Specialists and Avanti Circuits you buy a lot locally.\u00a0 Why do you prefer to shop locally?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The big reason for us is that we like the local contract manufacturers. \u00a0If there is a problem we want to know right away. A lot of people build overseas but for me, it doesn&#8217;t make sents to stay up at all hours of the night to speak with contract manufacturers. \u00a0If products show up with defects we\u2019re able to catch them quickly.\u00a0 Our sheet metal is done locally too.\u00a0 Five different metal shops we work with locally. If you need a change or something special you\u2019re not staying up late to talk to out of state suppliers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>What&#8217;s the main advantage for a municipality to go with Solar Traffic Controls over your competitors?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We focus on the optical quality of devices going into the traffic area. \u00a0Some competitors have a one size fits all approach where they provide the same system for a site like Seattle as they would in Phoenix. \u00a0They set these at the factory to PWM the light down so it can fit all geographic areas but that can expose customers to liability. We focus on producing high-quality light to improve safety. \u00a0Another thing some competitors also do is that they skimp on the duty cycle of the lamps.\u00a0 This means there will be a dark interval during the flashing of a beacon for a road hazard for instance.\u00a0 By cheating on the duty cycle, competitors are able to reduce the size of their solar array and battery bank but that exposes their customers to undue liability because of gaps in light.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>It sounds like cutting corners like that could be dangerous at night.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest risk is actually during day time when light brightness is more essential than at night. \u00a0Light travels well at night.\u00a0 The key is for lights to appear bright in the middle of a sunny day here in Arizona, following the standards for optical output.\u00a0 The system must be able to deliver the optical output that is required. That changes your systems and what you\u2019re able to offer people shooting for that optical value in worst-case situations. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4075\" src=\"https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-Stop-e1544824263351-107x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"431\" height=\"1209\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><strong>We noticed the &#8220;Unusual Products&#8221; link on your website &#8211; what is one of the most unusual\/unique projects you\u2019ve completed?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The elk flasher was definitely one of the more unusual projects that came my way, outside of Payson.\u00a0 The same group of people for the Payson project, set up an electric shock mat in the Canadian Rockies. \u00a0Installed a mat system to pulse an 8,000 V pulse on a mat.\u00a0 We set up IR sensors and if animals broke successive beams we knew they were trying to go into town.\u00a0 We also set up cameras to photograph game heading toward town and getting deterred.\u00a0 It was a very unusual project.\u00a0 It had some level of success but the mats were actually torn up out there in Canada. We called it the Bear Control project since it was specifically designed to keep Grizzlies outside of town.\u00a0 The Elk and Grizzlies would follow grain cars and the train cars leaked grain so they would follow those and have a buffet as they followed the grain cars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-Signal-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-Signal-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.circuitspecialists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Solar-Traffic-Controls-Signal-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><strong>Thank you for taking the time to do this customer spotlight interview with us, did you have anything else to add?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You guys have been a great local resource for as long as I have been here. \u00a0Was lucky enough to land at the Flight training center in Phoenix and ever since then have been coming into Circuit Specialists. \u00a0At the time you were right off of Perry Dr. and University.\u00a0 Then you moved to Mesa, and now we see that you are in Tempe.\u00a0 \u00a0We do miss the front area, sometimes you\u2019d have some cool odds and ends. You have always been a great local resource for prototyping.\u00a0 We like to make a list of parts and head over.\u00a0 Haven\u2019t looked at the website much lately but would like to see you add a bigger range of PIC microcontrollers.\u00a0 Maybe do a customer survey to find out what PIC controllers people would like to see.\u00a0 Another area is in 900 MHz and 2.2 GHz radio, so more radio products for data transmission. You guys used to offer a lot of books and things, used to carry a lot of the electronics resource books.\u00a0 If you also carried some of the monthly publications in your store like Nuts and Volts and other Magazines we would pick those up when we come in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>We appreciate your suggestions and we&#8217;ll definitely try to add some of what you recommend to our store.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Thanks to Joe for taking the time for this interview and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solar-traffic-controls.com\">Solar Traffic Controls<\/a>.\u00a0 If you are looking for the best solar traffic signals or solutions be sure to contact them first.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions or are interested in being featured in one of our customer spotlight articles email us at <a href=\"mailto:services@circuitspecialists.com\">services@circuitspecialists.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an interview between Circuit Specialists and Jose Wise, founder of Solar Traffic Control.
