Activate SwiftSign Remotely

Versilis has introduced the SwiftSign to provide a safe, fast and easy way to activate traffic signage or message boards remotely. The system comprises a pivoting sign, a solar panel and a control box. Flashing lights can be added to the traffic sign to increase night-time visibility and to catch drivers' attention under specific circumstances such as emergency procedures.

538 Versilis has introduced the SwiftSign to provide a safe, fast and easy way to activate traffic signage or message boards remotely. The system comprises a pivoting sign, a solar panel and a control box. Flashing lights can be added to the traffic sign to increase night-time visibility and to catch drivers' attention under specific circumstances such as emergency procedures.

The dynamic signage, which is completely independent of any wiring for ease of installation or relocation, can be activated easily with an RF unit, cellular phone, or a Web-based application. According to Versilis, the system is a great in-between solution to static and variable message signs. The activation on demand makes the message only relevant when necessary and at the same time, the system is much more compact and economical than variable message signs.

    The importance of going with the flow
    Ensuring worker safety and up-to-date driver information is crucial to ensure that roadworks are not a source of danger and delay. Andrew Williams looks at a scheme on the A14 in Cambridgeshire, UK. In recent years, portable workzone ITS solutions have emerged as important tools in the management of major roadworks and system upgrade projects - and are viewed as an increasingly vital means of ensuring any ongoing traffic flow disruption is kept to a minimum. The technology forms a central component of an

    Remote lane closure system from Versilis
    Minimising the danger for road workers is always a key industry objective and Versilis is exhibiting an automated traffic control gate system which does just that. Its system uses a series of progressively longer, high-visibility and remotely-controlled gates that can close off lanes on a freeway without the need to put operatives in live lanes. “You need sight of the area when deploying the gates – either directly or via CCTV – to check for a gap in the traffic but beyond that the system fully automated

    Bluetooth and Wi-Fi offer new options for travel time measurements
    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
