VMS Signs

At Kelly Bros our ethos of sustainable road safety doesn’t stop once the road markings have been applied. Our variable message signs (VMS) are there to display the latest information, helping to make journeys safer for everyone.

We have a wide range of solar powered mobile VMS, as well as custom permanent fixed VMS supplied to individual specification. Our signs are free of noise, waste and pollution. Our VMS come equipped with an easy web-based message management system. Available in a number of sizes.

As well as installing the signs, our CSCS and NVQ trained staff use CCTV to monitor traffic conditions and remotely change the VMS wording. The remote software allows us to amend messages and assess the status of the sign for any general maintenance work. We have a rapid response rate and can efficiently respond to any problems with an on-site visit. We also carry out regular spot checks ensuring your solar signs are running seamlessly. Kelly Bros VMS solar signs are an invaluable addition to highway maintenance and help to keep traffic moving.

Kelly Bros VMS solar signs are an invaluable addition both to highway maintenance as well as all types of events in helping to keep traffic moving. Highways Agency Type Approval under TR2516B. TOPAS registered. DVSA Individual Vehicle Trailer Approval.

PORTABLE SPEED RADAR

At Kelly Bros we believe in safer, sustainable roads. The Kelly Bros Portable Speed Radar is an effective addition to traffic management. A truly solar powered innovation, it offers a sustainable method of warning oncoming traffic of any speed infractions by Vehicle Activated Sign (VAS) technology.

With many drivers often distracted or unaware of their speed, our Portable Speed Radar is an invaluable addition that can help increase road safety by tracking the speed of any oncoming vehicles and flashing a warning if they are over the limit. Information can be downloaded providing valuable quantifiable data that can help drive further traffic management initiatives forward.

Coming in a compact size, the Portable Speed Radar is easy to transport and can be used on all types of highways or at any event. With our standard Kelly Bros guarantee, our maintenance crew will work remotely to ensure your Portable Speed Radar is up to date and in line with all required standards.

CCTV TRAFFIC MONITORING

Traffic flows tend to remain consistent day-to-day, but there will be accidents, incidents and events that will change this. CCTV is an innovative but functional way to monitor traffic, roadworks sites and events and the VMS displays can be adjusted where necessary. The footage can inform future decisions around traffic management.

FEATURES

  • Kelly Bros CCTV units can be placed wherever they are needed due to their portable trailer mounted design.
  • Multiple users can logo on remotely via a web browser.
  • Each camera can zoom, tilt and pan to capture the best possible footage of traffic flow.
  • Data is sent over 3G, 4G and LTE networks.
  • On-site recording 24/7 with up to 14 days’ playback remotely.

BENEFITS

Real time analysis means smarter decision making for diverting traffic, updating VMS signs and planning roadworks. See the real impact of roadworks, identify trouble spots in rush hour, look at roadworks vehicles in action – CCTV can be both innovative and functional, giving you the information you need to make safe decisions. It can also be used for crime prevention and site security.
