Eberle Design Inc. has been at the forefront of the industry's development of the new Advanced Traffic Controller cabinet – bringing the traffic cabinet of the future into the market today. The ATC cabinet is an open architecture traffic control cabinet designed to take advantage of ultra-low power LED signals, enhanced fail-safer design with enhanced cabinet peripheral equipment diagnostics, with compact double-density size and modularity.
