SolarSign, a solar powered dynamic messaging sign (DMS) developed by 7846 SES America, was awarded ITS Heartland New Product of the Year for 2014 at the recent National Rural Intelligent Transportation System conference in Missouri.

SolarSign is a comprehensively integrated solar powered DMS system with full range capabilities for use on major highways as well as travel time, warning, and awareness signs used in solutions-oriented for both rural and urban transportation applications.

The system utilises state of the art LEDs leading to reduced maintenance costs and, with what the company says is 30-50 per cent greater energy efficiency than traditional LEDs, eliminates the need for expensive cooling systems.  

A SolarSign system may include a power and temperature monitoring option allowing feedback in real time, viewable remotely from a portable device or at a regional traffic management centre.  The SolarSign monitoring system eliminates operational uncertainties regarding the power supply, and is fully functional in remote environments or urban areas.
