MVIS are delighted to announce that A-One+ have purchased 10 new variable message signs (VMS’s) following our successful partnership in 2013. During A-One+’s recent refurbishment of the A1, there were zero standing traffic related incidents, a result that was squarely attributed to the success of the VMS signs supplied by MVIS.

The operation ran from July-August 2013, with 10 VMS-C variable message signs operational during the A-One+’s refurbishment of the A1 western bypass between Newcastle and Gateshead.

A-One+ credited the highly visible pictograms with ensuring that there were no incidents during the entire 6 week redevelopment. When they had used fixed frame signs during a similar project in2009 there had been several incidents, which is why they turned to us.

The firm have purchased 10 more VMS signs for ta similar project, for use in a semi-permanent capacity on the same stretch of road. This repeat purchase is a testament to the customer’s belief in the capacity the hire signs demonstrated last year and their ability to ensure the safety of road users.

MVIS is delighted that Nottingham City Council has purchased three of our VMS signs to use help manage traffic in their ongoing £1billion infrastructure redevelopment project.

Nottingham has become one of the first European cities to integrate ITS traffic management solutions, incorporating a number of different products and control room service. They have reported that the solution has been exceptionally well received by Nottingham road users.

Our ITS traffic management solution has been implemented to help reduce congestion and delays to journey times during Nottingham’s £1billion redevelopment, which includes major improvements to both the city’s railway station and major junctions on the A453.

Our VMS signs help to inform road users of upcoming road works suggest alternative travel routes so that they can reach their destination on time. Our ITS solutions also incorporates CCTV, so that traffic levels can be monitored throughout the area affected by the road works. All of this equipment is solar powered, which helps to keep maintenance costs down by getting rid of the need for preliminary groundwork.

The purchase of three additional VMS signs indicates the Nottingham City Council have been delighted with the efficacy of the hired signs used to date. We’re happy to have another satisfied customer and we are thrilled with the results we have achieved so far.

MVIS recently completed some works for Hertfordshire University helping to increase student safety.

The university was concerned that increasing traffic and increasing speeds outside the university entrance was a potential danger to students. MVIS worked with the university’s security company to develop a traffic calming solution.

The radar uses the latest technology to collect consistently accurate traffic data in high definition. It operates in the 245MHz bandwidth and produces a radar beam with five times greater resolution than other radar traffic detection devices. The Dual Radar determines vehicle speed by measuring the delay from one radar beam to the next. This also determines vehicle direction. It then automatically sends a signal to a VMS, which instantly transmits a message to drivers that they have to slow down.
