Dynamic LED sign manufacturer 7846 SES America (SESA) has completed the installation and commissioning of seven dynamic message signs (DMS) signs along part of I-75 in Michigan.

The signs were installed by J. Ranck Electric as part of the second phase of a project with the 1688 Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and utilised SESA’s unique Messenger 5000 embedded DMS technology to display toll rate, lane status, and traffic control information.

This operation is the second phase of a collaboration between SESA and MDOT and is aimed at increasing efficiency in managing the influx of traffic and reducing queues and congestion on freeways.

The signs were customised to meet client needs, enabling all components to be installed within the sign itself, while maintaining the slim housing design required for the project. The sign housing is less than three inches deep, allowing for easy flush-mounted installation to the static sign panels.
