A configurable traffic zone control system () includes transmitter structure () associated with a traffic zone (). The transmitter structure includes a transmitter () for transmitting a wireless signal () indicative of a speed requirement of the traffic zone. Receiver structure () is provided in a vehicle () for receiving the wireless signal such that based on the wireless signal, speed of the vehicle is automatically controlled to be at or below the speed requirement while the vehicle is in the traffic zone.

Configurable traffic zone control system

A circuit-board mountable antenna () has a substrate () compliant with the IPC/JEDEC J-STD_0202C and IEC-norm standard 60068, which specifies the spacing and pin arrangements for a printed circuit board (PCB) mountable connector commonly known in the automotive electronic art as a 'FAKRA' or 'Fakra.' A radio frequency (RF) energy transducer or antenna () is applied to or formed over the substrate () which is provided with at least one mounting pin () and a signal lead (), the spacing and locations of which are compliant with the Fakra ISO-compliant hole pattern. The antennae () thus provide a circuit board () mountable antenna, compliant with the Fakra standard. The Fakra-compliant antenna or a Fakra-compliant connector can be attached to the circuit board () for a communications device () at the time of assembly to enable the communications device to use either a concealed or concealable antenna or an external antenna.
