Dorman Varitext in conjunction with Inprotect Systems http://www.isi-bc.com/ of Langley, BC are pleased to announce they have been selected by British Columbia Ministry of Transport to supply road safety products from their unique vehicle activated traffic calming product range on two different field studies being conducted this year.

Both trials are aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a range of display based dynamic curve warning technologies that Dorman Varitext offer. The first trial went live in July and incorporated an overhead mounted vehicle activated speed feedback sign which not only provided the approaching driver with feedback on his speed , but also controlled a series of flashing beacons in an adjacent retro-reflective curve warning sign. The beacons flash sequence is automatically determined by the speed of the approaching vehicle. The sign with the combination of the reflective plate message , LED beacon and feedback display technologies is geared towards educating the targeted driver to connect his or her inappropriate speed to the approaching hazard and adjust speed accordingly to safely continue their journey. Standard with all DV vehicle activated products the client will be utilizing the on board wireless Data logging speed analysis feature to assist in performance evaluation.
