A smart frame for roadworks signage
The present invention relates to apparatus, systems and methods for providing a visual warning of roadworks to oncoming traffic. A road sign frame apparatus 10 for providing a visual warning of upcoming roadworks. The display apparatus 10 comprises: a display region 17 for displaying a warning sign 32; a stand for supporting the display region 17 so that it can be seen by oncoming traffic; a location determination device (110,fig.2) for determining the location of the road sign frame apparatus 10; a transmitter (44,fig.2) for transmitting the location to a remote server (5,fig.3); and a controller (40,fig.2), wherein the controller (40,fig.2) is arranged to operate in a first mode in which periodically the controller (40,fig.2) obtains location data from the location determination device (110,fig.2) and uses the transmitter (44,fig.2) to transmit the location data to a remote server (5,fig.3). The apparatus may further comprise one or more sensors (112,114,116,120,122,fig.2). The sensors may be used to detect if the apparatus is deployed or not, whether the apparatus has fallen over, sensing orientation of the apparatus relative to and/or about the vertical direction, sensing use of a handle, detecting movement, and sensing attachment of a sign.
