| Modes of operation The SID Road Safety Display is not just static display, it has several unique features that give users flexibility and a better understanding of how to maximize its use as a road safety tool. Unlike fixed VAS (Vehicle Activated Signs) which tend to loose local effect after only a short period of time the SID (Speed Indication Device) is extremely portable & independent (10 day battery life), which means with strategic rotation deployment the road safety effectiveness is not lost, and coverage is maximized. In addition the following modes of operation are available for users to select as desired, once again, utilising the same road safety display for multiple tasks. Data capture is available enabling speed reports to be generated with in MS Excel™. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Safety mode the Sign displays the speed of approaching vehicles, alternating with either a happy or sad face depending on preset speed limit. Ideally used as part of a campaign at Schools or speed sensitive areas where "Positive Driver Feedback" can be used to educate and inform drivers to be aware of there speed.
An extremely Friendly, Acceptable and Powerful way of increasing speed safety awareness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Informing drivers directly of their speed by flashing the speed of vehicles that approach the sign above the preset speed limit. As with all options there is an upper speed threshold where speeds are no longer displayed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PSL stands for Posted Speed Limit, in this mode the Safety Display can be set to echo and reinforce the areas speed limit. Approaching vehicles exceeding the PSL will be shown the speed limit in numbers flashing, this can be combined with the Safety Function to give an alternating limit and sad face. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aimed at reinforcing a new speed limit change or the implementation of a 20mph zone, the Difference Mode can be used as part of a dedicated awareness campaign. Vehicles exceeding the preset speed limit will be informed of their excessive speed.
Difference mode is used in conjunction with the optional
"TOO FAST" legend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Covert Mode When used in this mode the SID becomes a covert monitoring
device. With no display active the unit records the time and speed of
approaching vehicles. Data can subsequently be downloaded and compared
to that of the active results. |
