Variable Message Signs using LED/LCD Technology

Variable message signs (VMS) are available using LED or LCD technology. Thanks to this latest technology, important information is now more readily visible, and this helps to improve road safety.  LED variable message signs can be deployed in all manner of traffic environments and are playing an increasingly important role as traffic volumes grow.  Here at Bremicker Verkehrstechnik we are specialists in manufacturing signs conforming to StVO, RWVZ (VMS guidelines) and EN 12966 (European standards for VMS). Exceptional situations call for exceptional signage and we can make the appropriate LED signs for those exceptional situations.  Traffic signs, warnings, and appeals can thus be clearly displayed despite high volumes of traffic, in bad weather conditions and at night.

VMS signs using LED technology conforming to StVO are particularly well suited to deployment along rural roadways, major roads and motorways by virtue of their visual performance characteristics. The products from Bremicker Verkehrstechnik meet the requirements stipulated in the European standard (EN 12966) with respect to luminance and contrast. LED technology makes it possible to achieve high visibility of traffic signs at a considerable distance, while at the same time saving energy. The smooth display face, unique to Bremicker Verkehrstechnik products, prevents any accumulation of dirt or driven snow.

LED technology is also suitable for urban locations and the needs of local authorities. The patented black and white screen technology enables road users to see the display at an angle of up to approx. 160°. For this reason, we can recommend its application in routeing systems, for example in multi-storey parking facilities. The tried and tested smooth display face proves useful here too, since it gives snow and dirt no chance to stick.

Another modern display technology now being used more and more frequently for parking guidance systems and information displays is LCD technology. Even in full sunlight or complete darkness, LCD displays have an excellent contrast ratio and are clearly legible at an angle of up to 160°.

We will be happy to advise you in person on the subject of LED/ LCD technology. Our experts here in the company will support you during all the phases of your project, from the planning stage right through to installation.
