Slovenian traffic technology specialist 2099 Sipronika will launch the MHP50 speed display which uses a built-in microwave radar to measure the speeds of vehicles as they pass by. There are several versions of display available: a basic version with a speed display only, a version with an additional mono-colour LED message, and a version with an RGB message. The RGB display can show any kind of multi-colour traffic signs, animated text, graphic animation or sponsor's logo.

The traffic data stored in the device can be transferred to a personal computer directly through a serial port or via a Bluetooth connection. A remote connection through a GPRS/UMTS network is also supported as an option. Additionally, the message shown on the LED display can be changed remotely to accommodate a particular road situation, such as highlighting construction works or extreme weather conditions.

Using variable speed limits, which will be adjusted in real time in response to changing traffic conditions, the smart motorway will pace vehicles to smooth the traffic flow. Officials say this will result in safer journeys with more predictable travel times. It will also free up nearby roads for better public
