Bullhorn

Type: component
PROBLEM

It is very loud on a turnpike and the driver cannot hear what the toll collector is saying.

SOLUTION

The Bullhorn is a high-output directional speaker system mounted on the Turn Pike tablet head assembly, serving as the primary audio output for the operator's voice during standard toll collection and as the enforcement output during elevated situations. In standard mode the bullhorn amplifies the operator's voice from the home microphone to a clear, intelligible 95 decibels at 3 meters, sufficient to cut through highway ambient noise, engine rumble, and whatever the driver has playing at volume. In Nuke Code Mode, activated via a dedicated button in the operator interface that has a protective cover over it so it is not pressed accidentally, the bullhorn transitions to a 10,000 decibel piercing tone sequence that the Turn Pike engineering documentation classifies as an attention restoration signal and the legal team classifies as a feature requiring a separate liability acknowledgment in the operator agreement. Nuke Code Mode is intended for non-payment events and drivers who have made the situation personal. The mode has a three-second activation delay so the operator has to really mean it.
