TrafficFlow Manager helps congestion

Information Display Company, a developer and manufacturer of radar speed sign technology, has launched TrafficFlow Manager, a driver alert display which works with traffic signal timing to alleviate traffic congestion. When mounted along a route with timed traffic signals, the display informs drivers that the lights are synchronised and lets them know the proper speed to maintain in order to avoid having to stop for a red light.

Information Display Company, a developer and manufacturer of radar speed sign technology, has launched TrafficFlow Manager, a driver alert display which works with traffic signal timing to alleviate traffic congestion. When mounted along a route with timed traffic signals, the display informs drivers that the lights are synchronised and lets them know the proper speed to maintain in order to avoid having to stop for a red light.

TrafficFlow Manager is a programmable electronic sign which can be connected directly to the signal controller or manually set to display a predetermined speed at specific times of the day or days of the week. An optional GPS timer receiver ensures synchronisation between the display and the signal controls. The electronic sign can also be set and controlled remotely from a central office using either a cellular modem or Ethernet connection.
