Usage & Applications

A radar speed feedback sign can be deployed anywhere and unmanned for as long as necessary. Because it runs on battery and solar, there is no need to be near a power source. The trailer-mounted device detects and displays real-time speed information using the onboard doppler radar and digital display. Many digital speed feedback signs can be set up to flash the speed or trigger strobe lights when a vehicle’s speed exceeds a predetermined threshold above the posted speed limit. This feature increases the driver’s awareness of their excessive speed.

Let's talk about your project

Trailer-mounted speed feedback signs are ideal for temporary use. Some common areas where they can work best include:

  • School Zones. A radar speed sign can be programmed to operate during school hours to make drivers more aware of their surroundings.
  • High Pedestrian Traffic Areas. Urban centers and some neighborhoods may have more people crossing the street than usual. Speed feedback signs can help call attention to pedestrian crossing signs, forcing drivers to be more aware of their surroundings.. During construction, speed limits are often reduced to make the area safer. A radar speed feedback sign can help enforce these new limits.
  • High-Collision Intersections. Areas with frequent collisions can benefit from these feedback signs. Since drivers will pay closer attention, they can avoid crashing into other vehicles or hazards.
  • Speed Limit Interchanges. Some roads or highways may change speed limits drastically, and drivers may not always pay attention. A live speed feedback sign can capture their attention better and help them slow down when necessary.
  • High Pedestrian Traffic Areas. Urban centers and some neighborhoods may have more people crossing the street than usual. Speed feedback signs can help call attention to pedestrian crossing signs, forcing drivers to be more aware of their surroundings.

Features

Our speed feedback sign is equipped with all the latest features and elements to deliver the best results possible. Here’s a breakdown of everything you can expect from this device:

Doppler Radar

Capture every vehicle with state-of-the-art doppler radar. This technology can capture data from two lanes of traffic and spot vehicles up to 2,000 feet away. Plus, it’s built-in, so it doesn’t need calibration or updating.

Datalogger (Optional)

Data is your best friend, as it can tell you what’s going on at a specific stretch of road and what needs to be done to make it safer. This element tracks average speeds and the number of cars over a set period, including every minute, hour, etc.

Strobe/Flashing Lights

Sometimes, signs aren’t enough, particularly during inclement weather. Strobe lights help signal drivers so they pay attention and instinctively slow down.

Stealth Technology

High-quality batteries are often the target of thieves, so we placed these batteries in a secret compartment. In addition to deterring theft, the batteries are fully sealed, so they don’t require as much upkeep and maintenance.

V-Touch SP Controller

Make life easier with the touchscreen controller. This way, you can make adjustments to the sign without having to fumble with buttons and knobs on the device itself. A remote control enables fast and efficient operations.
