Third generation signs spell a bright future for Swarco

Swarco Traffic Americas has introduced its third generation of optic LED dynamic message signs (DMS) to the North American market. The third generation signs deliver contrast ratios more than double the NEMA TS4 requirement and are said to use a fraction of the power consumed by its competitors’ signs.

6340 Swarco Traffic Americas has introduced its third generation of optic LED dynamic message signs (DMS) to the North American market.

The third generation signs deliver contrast ratios more than double the NEMA TS4 requirement and are said to use a fraction of the power consumed by its competitors’ signs. The new signs do not require a front screen and use one multi-color LED per pixel rather than the clusters of LEDs per pixel found in most of the amber signs current in use on the highways. The result is higher visibility, improved reliability, reduced power consumption and lower cost compared with the previous generation.  

Founded in Austria in 1969, Swarco’s DMSs have been deployed in the cold of the Arctic Circle, the heat of Saudi Arabia and the humidity of Brazil.

    April 23, 2013
    CSRS is a new no-dig technology and construction method from MaxCell that removes inner ducting from around active fiber optic cables with virtually no load on cable and no interruption of service. Inner ducts can be are removed at a rate of up to 3m (10ft) per min and up to 90% conduit space is recovered. The cables fall to bottom of conduit allowing up to nine more cables to be placed in recovered space. Replacing with new ducting can cost upwards of $3000 per metre ($1,000 per foot) in cities.

    Vector Informatik, a German software company, will present software tools for the development of Car2x‐applications. CANoe.Car2x and CANalyzer.Car2x are used to develop, simulate, analyse and test embedded systems with WLAN. The optional .Car2x extends these multi‐bus tools by adding an IEEE 802.11p conformant WLAN channel (pWLAN). This permits direct analysis of both the Car2x‐specific application protocols and the application messages overlaid on them. In the Car2x field this might be the Cooperative Awar
