VMS-HD Video Display

The VMS-HD is a compact trailer design with a high resolution LED Display screen. The display is a full colour display capable of displaying both text, high resolution images, video footage and also a live video stream. Widely used within the events and festivals industries to promote business, events and instructions. Studies and trials have been done with Highways England for use within the Highways Traffic Management sector, for displaying static messages to offer motorists an enhanced experience when travelling through large areas of roadworks. This allows motorists to understand the works that are being carried out within the area and keep them informed of progress or safety messages. Installed as standard, a 4G router will allow traffic management contractors to remotely update the message as necessary within a few seconds. To further reduce the trailer footprint and increase security, the towbar can be removed.
