Flexible solutions for displaying multiple messages.

Coeval is a specialist in robust, LED road sign-based systems that advise, inform, educate and protect our communities. With a single sign that serves multiple functions, Variable Message Signs (VMS) are an ideal LED signage solution for influencing road user behaviour whether that be incident awareness, parking guidance, tunnel and toll lane usage, event management or any number of other scenarios.

We provide fixed, mobile, portable and roof-mounted LED signage for a wide variety of applications.

Remotely controllable using our cloud-based software

VARIABLE MESSAGE SIGN (VMS)

Coeval supply a complete range of motorway VMS, from single line to full colour matrix, and urban VMS with a wide range of pictograms and text messages.

Intelligent VMS can be used to support a number of measures from improved road safety to air quality monitoring; every 4 minutes, someone is injured on a British road and poor air quality is the biggest environmental threat to health in the UK with up to 36,000 deaths a year attributed to long-term exposure (Public Health England, March 2019).

There were 1,748 road deaths in the year ending June 2019, as reported by the DfT (30 July 2020). The statistics also show there were 153,315 casualties of all severities in reported road traffic collisions in 2019. This is 5% lower than in 2018 and is the lowest level since 1979.

The Environment Audit Committee has estimated that total health costs, due to air pollution, range between £8.5 billion and £20.2 billion a year. Utilising intelligent road signage to influence road user behaviour and increase the attractiveness of active travel (walking and cycling), by improving safety and comfort, can support road safety and the improvement in air quality.

Coeval’s VMS are modular in design and can be supplied in one, two or full colour, in varying sizes, and from 12mm to 25mm pixel pitch. We also supply a wide range of parking, tunnel and toll signage.

TECHNICAL SPEC

MOBILE VMS

The need for a visible message is not always fixed or permanent, sometimes people need to be informed of temporary roadworks, flood warning, changes in traffic flow or upcoming events in the area, and more recently we have seen mobile displays used to communicate Covid-19 messages.

Coeval supplies a complete range of Mobile VMS, from single line to full Colour Matrix, Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS), and Urban VMS with a wide range of pictograms and text messages. This means our signs can be used for a wide range of customer requirements from road safety/warning signs to event management.

Coeval’s solar powered Mobile VMS are easily deployed and simple to programme, making them a perfect solution for providing temporary and effective messaging.

Our Mobile VMS range includes full-size and compact (see Portable VMS) options and offers LED signs that are modular in design and can be supplied in one, two or full colour, in varying shapes and sizes, and from 12mm to 25mm pixel pitch.

With a single sign that serves multiple functions, Mobile Variable Message Signs (VMS) are an ideal road signage solution for informing, advising and influencing road users and the wider public.
