I would like to see someone make one of these with a PIC...but be carefull, I doubt the police like this sort of thing... I got this out of Communications of The New Order Issue #1 Summer, 1993 which can be found at http://www.attrition.org/~modify/texts/zines/CoTNo/cotno01.txt This version is the one that I know is used in most cities, thats why this is the only one I posted...There are others in the txt file...such as sound activated and manual... Light Activated Devices: (This is the one that d00d talked about in Phrack) This type of traffic controll device is activated by a Pulseating, High- Intensity Stobe light that sends a signal to a detector located at each major intersection. This dector holds the light green...if it happends to be green when your going through it, or speeds up the normal cycle to green in the direction of travel...(note: This means there is a RED light on three sides and GREEN only on yours). There is an indicating light located next to the light detector, assuring the driver that the traffic signal is in controll by the stobe light. Ok...The name of the stobe light system is called an OPTICOM. The key word in the upper paragraph was "HIGH-INTENSITY"...normal car do not have high intensity lights...even when you put your brights on. The OPTICOM flashes at over 14 times a second...it almost looks like a regular solid light..but nope. If you guys don't know what i'm talking about...next time you see a Fire Truck running with lights and siren...look at the top of the engine and you'll see it flashing away...actually..I think it's the most noticable thing.... Note: Police cars do not have these on them....and only some Ambulances. The reason Cops don't have them is because they have a car that is easier to manuver through other cars and intersections. But a fire enigine..with alot of water and very heavy can't turn on a dime...you'll be screwed in a second! So thats why Fire trucks have them and cops don't. SOme ambulances do...so keep an EYE out for it. by: Karb0n -=TNO=- -Nomel -- "If you wish to make an apple pie truly from scratch, you must first invent the universe."
