At TOMAR, we design advanced pedestrian safety systems with an emphasis on precision engineering, robust reliability, and flexible integration for OEM and traffic system designers.
Our Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are optimized for seamless deployment into a wide range of modern traffic control architectures.
Ruggedized Construction for Extreme Environments
TOMAR RRFBs, part of the Revolution Line, utilize a linear vibration weld seal to achieve an IP69K+ hermetic rating—the highest available level of ingress protection. The exterior construction is completely non-ferrous, utilizing polycarbonate and Lexan components to eliminate corrosion risks and maximize long-term field durability. This robust design ensures complete resistance to dust, moisture, salt, and high-pressure washdowns, supporting dependable operation in harsh roadway environments and coastal installations.
Advanced Optical System Compliance
Each RRFB integrates a UV-treated, optically clear Lexan lens to minimize material degradation and yellowing over time. The Clear Vision Optics™ system delivers superior photometric performance compared to conventional rear-reflector optics, significantly improving pedestrian visibility over extended distances—critical in high-speed, multi-lane, and urban applications.
The optical system is certified to meet SAE J595 Class 1 standards per MUTCD Interim Approval IA-21 guidelines, ensuring compliance with luminous intensity and angularity requirements across all roadway conditions.
Energy-Efficient Power Architecture for OEM Integration
TOMAR RRFBs feature a compact 3” x 7” footprint and operate efficiently across 12VDC to 24VDC power systems. An average current draw of 76mA to 370mA supports low power budgets, making these beacons ideal for solar-powered arrays and hardwired infrastructure alike.
TOMAR RRFBs offer selectable intensity levels to adapt to varying ambient light conditions, with control via a +12-24VDC dimming wire or through Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), ensuring easy integration with lighting control strategies while maintaining MUTCD compliance and preventing glare.
For OEM partners, TOMAR offers pre-pinned wiring to match customer-specified connector models, simplifying harness integration, reducing installation time, and enhancing field serviceability.
Flexible Control Configurations
TOMAR RRFBs are available in two control models to meet diverse system design requirements:
- Self-Controlled Units for autonomous or push-button operation
- Externally-Controlled Units for full integration with Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), adaptive signaling, or third-party control platforms
Both configurations ensure seamless compatibility with modern, centralized traffic management and connected infrastructure initiatives.
Compliance and Standards Adherence
All TOMAR RRFBs are engineered in compliance with U.S. DOT Interim Approval IA-21, MUTCD Chapter 4L standards, SAE J595 Class 1 optical performance ensuring regulatory compliance, field reliability, and long-term operational safety for OEM system deployments.
The TOMAR Advantage
When system precision, regulatory compliance, and reliable performance are critical, TOMAR’s Revolution Line RRFBs provide OEM system designers with a rugged, field-proven platform engineered for maximum reliability and performance.
T-Beam™ Collimator for Optimized Light Distribution and System Simplification
TOMAR’s new T-Beam™ collimator brings innovation and enhanced integration to our already robust, high performance RRFBs. T-Beam ensures optimal output to maximize driver recognition while simultaneously integrating pilot lights to provide operational feedback to pedestrians.
This TOMAR exclusive embedded confirmation system eliminates the need for external side-mounted indicators, reducing system complexity, wiring requirements, component counts, and long-term service points.
