One year on for VATCS in Brantford School Zone
Dorman Varitext were delighted to receive client feedback from one of the first School Zone Dual Diagram VATCS sign installation in Canada at Brantford, Ontario, this week.
One year on from when the signs were first installed, the VATCS continue to be effective at keeping the speeds down on Shellard Lane. The City traffic engineering team found that the one year results were better than the initial two week evaluation after installation tests...9 to 10 % reduction to the 85th percentile, as summarized and noted below:
Large scale VATCS evaluation underway
Further to the initial pilot VATCS trial in 2006/07 the City of Brampton have now expanded the trial into a large scale evaluation.
The findings of the initial pilot were very promising with the VATCS affording a 15% improvement on previously deployed speed feedback display technology.
FHWA to trial Dynamic Curve Warning VATCS
Dorman Varitext are delighted to announce that the unique Dynamic Curve Warning VATCS have been selected to feature on a national FHWA traffic safety study to evaluate the effectiveness of the technology on traffic speed and hazard awareness on horizontal curves in rural roadway applications.
Speeding continues to be one of the most significant contributing factors to fatal crashes. One of the major issues for speed related crashes is the impact of horizontal curves, especially in rural roadways.

California first for Advance Crossing Dual Speed Warning VATCS
A first for VATCS , the dual diagram advance crossing warning VATCS solution was developed by Dorman Varitext on behalf of the City of Redwood City. The VATCS not only displays a vehicle activated warning to drivers of the R2-1 35MPH posted limit when triggered by approaching vehicle speed detected above the predetermined safe threshold but this mode of Operation is overridden by the timer activated display of the W11-2 Pedestrian traffic warning diagram in conjunction with sensing the operation of the pedestrian crossing.
