Driver Messaging · Dynamic Message Boards
Messages that change with every driver.
Radar message boards show each driver their speed, switch to a 'Slow Down' or a 'Thank you' depending on it, or run your own messages, and collect speed and volume data the whole time.

Conditional messaging
Let live conditions write the message.
Feed the sign live data and the message follows it: time to destination, road or air temperature, water levels, wait times, vehicle weights or open parking spaces, from sensors on the sign or from the cloud. Change the message on one sign or all of them in under a minute.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a message board dynamic?
Its message changes on its own: with each driver's speed ('Slow Down', 'Too Fast!', 'Have a Nice Day'), with the time of day, or with live data from sensors. Or it runs a dedicated message such as a flood warning or an Amber Alert.
Does it still collect data while it shows a message?
Yes. It records speed and volume in every mode, and stealth mode collects a baseline with the display off.
How long does the battery last?
Up to several weeks per charge, and the battery swaps out through its own compartment in any weather.
Can it capture license plates?
The optional awareness camera takes daytime images of high-speed drivers, congestion or tampering, but doesn't capture plates. For plate capture, see the camera-ready trailers.
