LPT panels for variable messaging signs (TO.020)

A Spanish Group, with over 40 years of experience in road safety, has developed a LPT (Low Power Technology) panels for variable messaging signs, which give the highest luminosity and use minimal power consumption. The Group is looking for commercial agreements.

Description:
The new LPT VMS product range use minimal power consumption of less than 500 watts, even for the largest VMS for traffic control and regulation, and less than 20 watts for VMS used in public transport sites. This results in an energy saving of over 80% in comparison to energy consumption levels of VMS panels currently available on the market.

LPT has been tested and can be applied to all types of LED VMS, keeping in line with all communication protocols. The performance of VMS installed on motorways is in tune with results obtained in laboratories and are in compliance with requirements dictated by the highest specifications.

Innovative aspects:

Reduced power consumption and minimal heat generation extend the product life cycle, the level of performance, and the efficiency of LPT panels, and at the same time allows a simple connection with small sections of cable, and therefore, are very easy to install, and can be integrated into an independent supply using renewable energy.

The advantages provided by VMS LPT technology also include a reduced investment in installation, and the operation and maintenance of the installations.

Low consumption of the VMS LPT results not only in a saving in financial terms, but also serves to reduce CO2 emissions in the Earth’s atmosphere, in line with sustainable development policies promoted by governments around the world.

The LPT technology of the Group responds to any combination of the features specified in the European Standard EN12966, in which recommendations for the selection of VMS panels are included, taking into account energy efficiency criteria.

Current stage of development of the technology:
Developed, available for demonstration

Financial source of the technology:
Private funding
