TDM . . . A Premier Manufacturer of  Unattended Speed-Alert Monitors (U-SAMs) For Use in... Law Enforcement & Privately Monitored Speed-Control Locales Engineered for reliable, accurate performance and long life with minimal maintenance, TDM U-SAMs are exceptionally effective and affordable. These "Traffic Decelerators" are proven to reduce accidents, save lives and property, and permit more efficient use of law-enforcement or safety personnel. Incorporated into many of TDM's compact, environmentally discreet U-SAM designs are the latest IntelliSpeed K-band (24.15 GHz) radar enhancements, ensuring readings accurate to within +/- 1-mile-per-hour. At little or no additional charge, TDM can tailor the color of LED displays to meet specific law-enforcement or private-use requirements. Available colors include red and amber. Unlike conventional one-dimensional, or "passive," speed-zone signage, TDM USAM's are multidimensional—active both in operation and motorist perception. Flashing LED displays visually alert drivers and radar detectors to the presence of radar, as well as to the possibility of being citied for excessive speed. The result? Speed reduction. Improved driving awareness. And increased safety.

TDM U-SAM FAQS

Proven Effectiveness

Department of Transportation (DOT) research confirms that, in general, speeding drivers slow to within posted limits after observing an unanticipated electronic display of their vehicle's speed.

Placing a TDM U-SAM in a selected area produces a result similar to monitoring the area with a patrol officer stationed in a marked law enforcement vehicle with its emergency lights activated. With a U-SAM from TDM, however, there's virtually no personnel expense or the lengthy allocation of a law enforcement officer whose services and expertise can be better used elsewhere.

Complementing the direct benefits of electronic speed control is the positive psychological effect TDM U-SAMs have on the motoring public. After observing a TDM U-SAM in operation, drivers become increasingly aware of posted speed limits, realizing that the area has been targeted for special monitoring by law enforcement authorities. The typical result is a generalmotoring slow-down throughout the entire adjacent locale—whether it's a school zone, construction sector, residential neighborhood, retirement community, military base, shopping center, corporate campus, or other area where traffic safety is a paramount consideration.

Proven Efficiency

TDM U-SAMs can work year-round—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in a wide range of weather conditions. They require no overtime compensation, no vacations or holidays, and virtually no sick days. Plus, they are totally objective in their performance.

Widespread Public Acceptability

Particularly in Danger Zones—around schools, construction areas, residential subdivisions, and congested commercial sites—placement of a TDM U-SAM is universally welcomed and appreciated by parents, workers, residents, merchants,

and voters. Without question, TDM U-SAM visual speed reminders are politically appropriate” and reflect positively on the public-safety commitment of law enforcement officials and agencies, as well as elected representatives.
