Florida’s Traffic Engineering Research Laboratory (TERL) has added 32 Daktronics’ most recent transportation innovation, a single-line 20mm high-resolution (HRFC), full-colour dedicated dynamic message sign, the VM-1020 series LED display, to its approved product listing.

In addition to expanding Daktronics product offering, the VM-1020 features variable character and background colours such as black letters or numbers on a white background. The sign’s HRFC capabilities allow agencies to match the display’s background colour to the static signage according to Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Displays standards.

Available in standard character heights of 12 or 18 inches, the DMS is also suitable for applications requiring high occupancy tolling, travel time or advisory messages. With a majority of the electronic equipment housed in a roadside cabinet for easy maintenance, the VM-1020 series combines capability with functionality in an easy to use display system.

Mike Weinberg, transportation product manager, commented, “We’re pleased to add another choice to our transportation product offering with the addition of a full-colour embedded dynamic message sign.”
