The latest technology of Parking Guidance System Display

Photonplay advance parking system comprises of a set of high brightness LED displays linked to a backend computer system that direct motorists to nearest parking points along a route. The parking lot guidance system displays available vacant spaces and is an integral part of the modular parking lot management system. In addition to installation along highways and city streets the space guidance system can also be installed at entrances to parking areas giving information on parking facility, rates and so on to help motorists decide about the parking lots and suitable routes. 

The salient Features

• Photonplay car parking signage system is fully configurable to display fixed and moving text
• The LED Display parking space indicator utilizes large, high bright LEDs visible even in bright sunlight from a distance
• Wireless/wired control and interface with a back end ITS computer linked to VMS modules (optional) forming part of the parking lot guidance and management system.
• Optional parking monitoring system for parking lot operators includes billing/ticketing and revenue management
• Space guidance system shows car parks that are full or number of vacant spaces remaining
• Mains operated as well as battery operated models with or without wireless parking sensor systems
• Durable, weather sealed powder coated metal housing, military/industrial grade electronic components, fully tested for 24 hour operation
• Full support including training and maintenance

Photonplay parking guidance system displays are world class products designed to help reduce traffic congestion, save the driver’s time in finding parking spaces and thus contribute to lowered fuel consumption and a cleaner, greener environment. 

Better Traffic Control and Safety on the Roads with Variable Message Sign Displays

The number of automobiles expands exponentially. City roads and highways witness traffic congestion that has become more the norm than an exception. For authorities, controlling traffic is a nightmare and, in future, the problem is bound to escalate. Traditional methods of traffic control and management no longer work. Safety of drivers as well as others is at risk.

Variable message system is the key to better and dynamic traffic management. ITS based VMS variable message signs adapt to changing traffic patterns. Feature rich, these VMS sign for speed warn, guide and inform drivers on highways as well as on city streets. These LED based digital signage systems incorporate into existing computer networks or can even operate independently in the form of portable variable message sign systems that can be deployed with ease in case of need. Such tied or independent VMS led screens are used to designate lanes, for emergency warnings, for traffic updates, to warn motorists about tunnels, toll booths or roadblocks ahead. Digital LED Screens can also be set up in vehicles to take care of temporary requirements. These computer controlled VMS LED screens can be programmed to display messages with automatic adjustment of brightness according to ambient conditions. Another modern traffic aid are radar based VMS sign boards that warn drivers about their vehicles’ speed and also display the safe speed limit for that specific zone. All these products are the present and future of dynamic traffic management of congested city roads and highways, bringing order into chaos.

How are these VMS variable message signs better than traditional signage? For one, they employ high brightness flashing LEDs that are strikingly visible even in bright sunlight. Whereas passive signs tend to be ignored, these LED screens catch the attention of motorists. Since messages can be customized according to conditions, these are more helpful for drivers to warn them about, say, landslide ahead or traffic jam or a bridge. In time, it will become a habit for motorists to check such variable message sign displays. Since their vehicle’s speed can be displayed on these traffic message signage the motorists will also make a conscious effort to keep within safe speed limits, thus reducing dangers to pedestrians and risk of accidents to their vehicles.  For the authorities these ITS enabled VMS signage help gather data that will help them develop strategies to reduce congestion, that will, in turn, help reduce fuel consumption and levels of pollution. 

More Effective Radar Speed Sign Displays At Calming Drivers and in Reducing Speed

USA is in the midst of an automobile boom. Vehicular traffic on city roads as well as on highways is simply going out of control despite best efforts of authorities. The number of accidents is the highest on USA roads as is the mortality rate and all this due to rash and negligent driving in most cases. While collisions are common and put lives of occupants of the vehicles in danger, it is pedestrians that are more at risk due to rash driving at high speed.

Currently the most common practices to try to get drivers to stay within reasonable prescribed speed limits include:

• Marking crosswalks: At cross roads and at certain points the authorities do mark the roads with stripes indicating that pedestrians may cross safely. However, studies have shown that in the USA context, drivers disregard such stripes and zoom through with utmost disregard for pedestrians who may be crossing at these zebra lines.
• Stop signs are equally ineffective because they are largely ignored.
• Speed bumps are slightly more effective but it may not be practically possible to place them at all points. Bumps can impede emergency services vehicles.

The more modern, effective, safe and effective way to get drivers to slow down is a large, well lit LED speed display board that displays the vehicle’s speed and also indicates the safe speed limit for that specific zone. Now becoming highly popular and introduced into US by Photonplay.com, a global enterprise, these driver feedback signs are based on radar technologies. A typical speed radar sign works on radar. Radio frequency waves emitted by the unit bounce off the vehicle and measure its speed. This vehicle activated sign is aimed at the incoming vehicle within a specific zone and it works in conjunction with a computerized unit that allows authorities to set the safe speed limit and other parameters as well as capture data for analytic.

Available in various types such as street model, models for work zones, highway models and portable series, the radar speed displays have numerals ranging in size from 9 inches to 24 inches. Rugged for US conditions Photon radar feedback sign units work under widely varying climatic conditions and give uninterrupted services with the least maintenance. Easy to set up and use, even by untrained operators, the traffic calming signs are the next generation, modern way of getting drivers to drive sensibly. The world is changing over to radar speed display boards and it will not be long before their widespread deployment in US will see a reduction in traffic accidents as well as moralities.
