Carmanah Technologies' first solar-powered, LED-illuminated transit stop in North America, i-STOP, has a flashing beacon to request stops; a security passenger light, and an illuminated night schedule. The unit can be installed on conventional transit posts in minutes using high-intensity LEDs.
The company has been selected for a field trial of 24 solar-powered transit stops by London Bus Services, UK. The field trial is a result of a successful prototype test over winter 2001.
Based on the prototype performance; the company's power management system, and rugged construction, Carmanah is one of only two companies taking part in the larger scale programme. Worth $18m, the project requires a rollout of some 12,000 stops over 3 years.
A final supplier decision is scheduled for April, 2003. To establish a European presence Carmanah is relocating senior level engineering staff to the UK.
