Variable Message Boards, or VMS Boards,
have traditionally been a common feature
in road construction zones, warning
passing traffic of impending change to
road conditions. Businesses and retailers
are now recognising the advertising
potential in hiring these boards to
effectively reach a large market of passing
traffic, very economically.
LDC Equipment has been manufacturing
VMS Boards in Australia for over 10 years.
Today’s VMS Boards use one core board
that integrates all control functions,
communications and charging systems
onto a single board. This revolutionary
design eliminates the complex wiring and
fault diagnosis associated with traditional
VMS boards. All wiring is now point-
to-point from the VMS core to all other
components (star pattern); the result is a
reduction in possible failure points and
massively increased reliability.
Local control is by a user friendly
touchscreen controller on a five metre
lead, so the unit can be used at a safe
Variable message boards more than just for traffic
distance from the roadway. On screen
menus allow easy programming when the
sign is not in a mobile coverage area.
Remote access is provided through LDC
Equipment’s VMS Director Software.
LDC Equipment offers three options:
• Amber: follows the traditional VMS
Board, with a practical one colour
design. Amber Boards are solar
powered;
• 5-Colour: 5-Colour Boards extend the
display aesthetic, giving the user scope
to create eye-catching messages.
5-Colour Boards are solar powered;
• Full colour LED billboard: Full Colour
LED offers premium promotional
opportunities, capable of playing
movie files and images. The LED
Billboard requires power, and uses P10
modules.
All LDC Equipment VMS Boards are
Australian made and come equipped
with: GPS Tracking; Next-G Cellular
connection with SMS and GPRS
updates; a two year warranty; UV stable
polycarbonate screen; brake winch (no
hydraulics to fail) to raise and lower; two
wheel locking chains; recessed tamper
resistant LED tail lights (anti-vandalism);
stainless steel hardware.
As a new addition all LDC Equipment’s
VMS Boards can now be used to alert
traffic to changing road conditions,
remotely. With the addition of a Solar
Surveillance Camera, LDC VMS Boards
can become a traffic warning sign in
real-time. Both camera and VMS Board
can be accessed remotely to view road
conditions and change traffic messages
at any time. The fully integrated, ultra-low
powered digital camera has a 3G modem,
capable of sending high res images
upon motion detection or remote image
capture (via smart phone/tablet).
LDC Equipment is offering HRIA
members an exclusive deal on VMS
Boards until 31 May 2016.
