It was Intertraffic that got Sweden’s 7697 Triplesign – makers of three-faceted variable signs – on the road to business success, so it is no surprise that the firm is back this year.


Until six years ago, the company concentrated on the billboard business when their UK distributor suggested testing the traffic signage market by exhibiting at Intertraffic.

“Now 80% of our business is traffic signage and that all started with Intertraffic,” said P-A Claveroth, sales director with the firm.

Although LED-based signage is all the fashion, Triplesign does not really regard it as direct competition.

“We would never compete with LED when it comes to downtown signage but they will not compete with us on installations in the middle of nowhere along a highway,” he said.

“Our signs are very reliable and only use battery power when the panels turn. LED needs continuous power supply and if the battery fails you have a black screen. So we offer reliability."

Triplesign manufactures signs for a range of uses, from toll roads and tunnels to temporary road works and pedestrian zones.

    A new system could reduce the cost of implementing I2V communications across a city to less than that for a single intersection, as Colin Sowman hears. It may seem too good to be true but US company Connected Signals is offering city authorities the equipment to provide infrastructure to vehicle (I2V) communications for free. The system enables drivers to receive information about the timing of signals they are approaching via the EnLighten smartphone app (or connected in-vehicle display).

Initially, the Alliance looked to achieve some form of common ground when it came to the use of transponders used by different agencies but alighted on video-based tolling as
