Variable Message Signs

Variable Message Signs (VMS) manufactured by Data Signs are Trailer Mounted, Solar Powered Message Boards. For continuous operation, the energy is stored to maintenance-free Batteries. These Data Signs message boards include local and remote programmable options and have inbuilt satellite GPS tracking. Built to Australian Standards 4852.2:2009 and Australian Design Rules for Trailer Manufacturing, our VMS Boards can be used for traffic management on road projects, as a general message boards, or as a large size dynamic electronic advertising sign. All DataSign VMS models are available in single-colour Amber or 5-Colour LED configuration.

Did you know Data Signs was the first LED message sign manufacturer in the world to develop the 5-colour LED variable message sign?

For example, fire authorities can display Fire Danger Rating information on the 5-Colour VMS model. All models can be used to advertise upcoming events, traffic control management, and can multi-task functionality when installed with the Data Signs speed radar, displaying vehicle approach speeds and speed specific messages.
