Meet Kabiru Atta, inventor of the Digital Traffic Glove, a reflective glove with lighting and message display that help traffic controllers effectively alert approaching drivers.
Kabiru, an IT & Cyber Security expert from Kogi State, Nigeria with over 15 years industry experience, created the gloves (also referred to as DiTra Gloves) to facilitate the jobs of police officers, emergency service workers, school crossing guards, parking lot attendants, rail transit workers, ground traffic controllers at airports, utility workers, road and building construction crews, crowd control staff at sporting events and concerts and more.
Some appealing features/benefits of the device include: safety, convenience, and high visibility and better traffic flow.
The gloves provide a convenient way to effectively alert approaching drivers of potential danger so they will stop where required.
Many drivers are confused and uncertain about what to do when they are being directed by a traffic controller. The gloves eliminate confusion and uncertainty.
The brightly colored reflective glove with lighting and message display attracts immediate attention towards police officers, emergency workers, school crossing guards, and construction workers, who may fear that they are not visible enough working in poor visibility conditions such as at night, during rainfal, snow or fog.
Accidents are common in construction zones and in high traffic areas. With the attention-getting lights and GO/STOP messages displayed to appropriate directions of traffic, misunderstanding, mishaps, and accidents can be avoided.
The glove is comfortable to wear, weatherproof, and readily adaptable to a variety of situations.
