New LED digital sign displays real-time travel time information

French digital media solutions developer Charvet Digital Media has launched iGirouette, a directional and connected signage system, which consists of a mast with two rotating arrows, each of which can rotate 360 degrees. Each arrow has LED screens on both sides and the sign is connected to the internet, via a GMS chip or directly via a network cable, and remotely controlled via an online platform.

French digital media solutions developer 8611 Charvet Digital Media has launched iGirouette, a directional and connected signage system, which consists of a mast with two rotating arrows, each of which can rotate 360 degrees. Each arrow has LED screens on both sides and the sign is connected to the internet, via a GMS chip or directly via a network cable, and remotely controlled via an online platform.

The sign displays real-time information on events, provide directions for tours and calculates journey time to a given destination while recommending the most suitable mode of transport. Its developers say it is able to display personalised information, fully tailored to each user on demand.

    Telvent’s Jorgen Pedersen and Tip Franklin discuss how integrated corridor management can create synergies within a multimodal transportation infrastructure, while promoting modal shift. The mantra ‘We cannot build ourselves out of congestion’ has long been stated and too often ignored. But with the economy in dire straits, funding deficits and pressure to reduce governmental spending, this is now being taken seriously by almost everyone who has an interest in the flow of traffic. By ‘everyone’ we include

    A study has shown the extent and ramifications of wrong way driving and proposed cost-effective countermeasures. Wrong way driving collisions occur relatively infrequently but the results can be devastating. Statistics from the US National Transportation Safety Board, an independent, federal all-modes agency, reveal that wrong way (WW) driving, account for only about 3% of accidents on high-speed divided highways but are much more likely to result in fatal and serious injuries.
