The City of Brampton have awarded Dorman Varitext a supply and install contract for twenty solar powered posted speed limit VATCS which will be arriving on the streets later this summer. The contract is the largest to date in the province since the technology was first launched in 2006 and is testament to the independently proven traffic safety benefits of the VATCS.

The city awarded the contract further to the successful pilot trial of the VATCS during 2007 and see the introduction of the VATCS as an important addition to their province leading pro-active traffic calming program. The City is intending to utilise the on board traffic speed analysis feature that comes as standard with the VATCS to monitor the performance of the signs over both the short and long term and look forward to introducing this unique approach.

A Dorman Varitext representative commented ‘this is more evidence and a significant acknowledgement of the VATCS’S proven ability to offer municipalities across North America a dynamic targeted, long term effective, educational vehicle activated approach to traffic calming.’ Some of the pilot trial photos are featured below , more news will follow with further speed analysis field data after the project goes live.
