Road Equipment

To secure and streamline the traffic and inform road users, roads must be equipped with numerous materials requiring a power supply. AUGIER energy transport solutions are particularly suitable for the supply of these materials.

AUGIER’s solutions provide power supply to receptors over a distance of up to 50km, for example:

• Powering LED lamps or traditional lamps, such as high pressure sodium HPS lamps
• Powering variable message signs
• Supplying power to rest areas
• Powering radars
• Powering video surveillance cameras
• Powering radio masts
• Powering weather stations
• Powering gates

AUGIER’s step-down substations are watertight, IP68 and are particularly robust. They can be installed in an underground pit.

A global leader for over 70 years, AUGIER supplies power to more than 1,000 roads and highways through medium-voltage energy distribution systems (from 950 V to 6,600 V). These reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable systems meet the needs of infrastructure managers seeking smarter mobility, enhanced road safety, and a low-carbon transition, in full compliance with international standards (IEC, EN).

Roads and highways require dependable power over long distances to operate lighting, variable message signs, dynamic traffic systems, EV charging stations, and 5G networks. The main challenges include:

• Energy losses: High losses with low-voltage systems over long distances.

• High costs: Network extensions are expensive for operators.

• Environmental impact: Land artificialization and emissions slow down decarbonization.

• Rising demand: +30 % electricity consumption expected by 2030 (Europe/US).

• Geographical constraints: Remote or extreme environments make power supply complex.

AUGIER’s medium-voltage solutions minimize energy losses (< 5 % over 50 km), cut material use by 80 %, and simplify installation. They combine supervision, smart communication, and eco-design to reduce carbon footprint.

Main applications include:

• Road lighting: Power supply for LED or HPS lamps.

• Real-time traffic management: Power for variable message signs.

• Rest areas: Lighting, air-conditioning, EV charging points.

• Safety systems: Power supply for radars and CCTV.

• Connectivity: Power for 5G antennas and weather stations.

• Toll stations: Power for lighting and equipment.

• A1 Highway (France): Power supply for lighting and dynamic road equipment.

• Mafraq Highway (UAE): 74 km, 6,000 kVA, five transformer stations – 30 % cost reduction.

• Route des Tamarins (Réunion Island): 30 km powered without nearby energy source.

• A355 Highway: Power supply for variable message signs (VMS).

• A6 Highway: Power supply for rest areas.

Other projects across Africa and Asia deliver reliable solutions for remote or high-temperature regions.

• Reliability: Guaranteed service continuity, even under extreme conditions (humidity, desert heat).

• Cost efficiency: Reduced installation and operating costs through medium-voltage design and optimized materials.

• Sustainability: Eco-designed solutions aligned with carbon-neutral goals and environmental standards.

• Flexibility: Adapted to the needs of highway operators, local authorities, and private partners.
