We have all experienced the frustration that can result in travelling on our country’s road network: traffic jams, road works, communities divided by heavily used roads, pollution, all have a detrimental effect on our quality of life. Fuel consumption, and therefore CO2 emissions are 10% higher on urban roads, 25% higher in city centres as a result of congestion. Recent studies have proved that the public want better information en route to enable them to plan their journeys using reliable, up to date information. Wireless communications and on board generator enable you to target traffic information and control to the critical points on the road network at short notice. Dorman Varitext Variable Message Signs can be designed to meet your requirements from our range of standard LED character modules. Character heights available include: 100, 160, 240, 320, 450mm. VMS can be formatted as discrete lines of text (pictured above), or as a continuous matrix screen capable of showing pictograms, arrows and supersize characters. Variable Message Signs can be supplied to integrate to an existing system (UTMC, NMCS2, NADICS etc.), or as a complete turnkey solution. For further information contact the Highways sales team. |
