Intelight Electronic Steerable Beam Traffic Signals
These signals are what will replace the design pioneered by 3M and stolen by McCain. The Intelight is uses a programmable LED array instead of a lens assembly and masking process. These appear to "go blank" just like a 3M with half the space and 3/4 the energy consumption. Theres alot more technology packed into these signals.

The Intelight was built upon the Optisoft platform. Optisoft went defunct in the early 2000's.

You can read the story of Optisoft's failure [url=http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/stories/2005/05/02/story1.html] here[/url]

Interesting, I looked at the manufacturer's site and there's some pretty high tech stuff inside.
Looking at your pic, I believe they're located at this intersection.

Yeah this pic is a streetview capture.

Did you go through that intersection before you took the street view image?
basilicon89   [Mar 15, 2011 at 07:10 PM]
no its from google streetview. I was sent the intersection a while ago from another traffic signal collector. So I kept the screen shot of it.
gailgrove   [Mar 15, 2011 at 07:13 PM]
Okay, thats not too far from me (the streetview shot)

I went by the freeway that goes under this intersection a few times, so I knew where it was just from seeing the pic (and plus the setup looks Ontario), since this is such a unique setup here.

Here's a pic from a few years back showing the old 3Ms as well as a closeup of a 3M I found on the internet.

I wonder if any Optisoft peds are still working in LA? I'dlike to see one in operation.

All Optisoft peds were pulled from service. The company tanked and closed up.
