VARIABLE MESSAGE BOARDS

The main reason for the design of the 400 mm character boards for variable message board was to enable the signs to be placed in areas of close proximity to tracks which the larger type boards were not capable of doing. Variable Message Boards, also known as electronic signs, LED message boards and trailer mounted message boards are now being used for road traffic direction and other applications, such as advertising, event promotion etc.

VMSI TechRoad is also the first company in the world to provide a two colour outdoor message board, enabling one colour to be switched manually, alternatively by sending an SMS message.

The sign controller has many options built in which can be added at any time, such as, SMS message service, alarm system, GPS, compass showing direction, voice synthesiser module for operation with mobile/cell phones etc. A second set of messages can also be quickly changed from one to the other. Other benefits are real time traffic control, storage of up to 250 factory programmed messages and capability for a further 250 user programmed messages.

Our VMS boards also have radio controlled message change, example trucks entering a road can activate the message and the sign can change the wording "Merge left/right Truck Entering Highway". VMSI TechRoad is unique in its design of solar operation and can operate 365 days per year without the need to externally recharge batteries.

ARROW BOARDS

VMSI TechRoad was the first manufacturer to develop the solar powered Arrow Board and produced these units in Australia and New Zealand. The company has improved its visibility and capabilities since then, offering the brightest and clearest trailer mounted arrow board which was achieved by patented Fresnel lens.

PORTABLE TRAFFIC LIGHTS

VMSI TechRoad was the first in the world to produce Solar powered Portable Traffic Lights and developed them commercially. To this day our PTL's are far superior compared to any newly developed lights, this is due to the fact from a distance that our PTL's are higher and can be seen over the top of 4WD's and vans. They also run 365 days per year non stop under all sorts of conditions and operate with either radio or cable connection. Two lights can be towed by one vehicle and can be configured for dual road or machinery crossing, T-Intersection or pedestrian lights.

Another feature of our PTL's is that an SMS can be sent to one or a number of mobile phones should a failure occur to the system, example: loss of connection. This is extremely important when the system is running 24/7. GPS and an alarm system are other features available.

SPEED AWARENESS TRAILERS

Speed trailers as well as displaying the speed which a vehicle is travelling, it has the facility to log how many vehicles pass the speed sign, recording the speed and date/time enabling this information to be downloaded to a PC either directly or via a mobile telephone network.
