Case Study proves VATCS effective in school zone
The first VATCS School Zone case study data has been published by the City of Brantford, ON. The full report can be read in the research section of this site but in summary the two dual diagram Vehicle Activated Traffic Calming Signs pictured and installed on Shellard Avenue in August 2007 have demonstrated a significant speed management impact.
The before and after readings showed up to a 7% reduction in the 85 percentile and an increase in the number of vehicles driving below the posted speed limit by up to 390 per day on a school route with an average daily volume of 3000 vehicles in each direction.
Brantford is one of three VATCS School Zone projects which went live in the province during 2007, the majority of VATCS are solar powered and are automated to operate in conjunction with the school calendar and operating hours via a Bluetooth™ wireless upload of the school timetable.
Dual Posted speed limit versions of the school zone VATCS are also being deployed in the Washington, USA , where the lower speed limit is being re-enforced at peak school operating hours.
