MVIS help to increase student safety at Hertfordshire University

Posted on 24th March 2014 at 3:23 pm.

MVIS recently completed some works for Hertfordshire University helping to increase student safety.

The university was concerned that increasing traffic and increasing speeds outside the university entrance was a potential danger to students. MVIS worked with the university’s security company to develop a traffic calming solution.

The radar uses the latest technology to collect consistently accurate traffic data in high definition. It operates in the 245MHz bandwidth and produces a radar beam with five times greater resolution than other radar traffic detection devices. The Dual Radar determines vehicle speed by measuring the delay from one radar beam to the next. This also determines vehicle direction. It then automatically sends a signal to a VMS, which instantly transmits a message to drivers that they have to slow down.

MVIS is delighted to announce a joint venture with Bartco at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014 (25th-28th March).

MVIS is expanding internationally and will be opening its MIVS AUS office in Melbourne, Australia. As a result, our range of bespoke, temporary ITS solutions will now be available to Australia and the southern hemisphere, allowing us to offer our beneficial services to a wider, international market.

Bartco, an Australian manufacturer of portable, solar powered, five colour matrix VMS, will be expanding into the European market. Bartco UK will be their sales and manufacturing division for Europe and will be based in Matlock, Derbyshire, alongside ourselves.

We will continue to manufacture portable ITS solutions including ANPR, CCTV, radar and lighting and supply these to the UK, European and Northern Hemisphere markets. While Bartco’s VMS will still be available via MVIS Ltd as part of its rental business, the signs will now also be sold directly to those markets by Bartco.

If you would like to talk to us about our new partnership with Bartco or any of our products, please email us through our contact page or phone us on 01629 580 570.

Here at MVIS we are constantly endeavouring to make our products easier and more flexible. With our Web Studio, you can achieve exactly that.

More and more in the modern world, the web is controlling what we do and how we work, making things faster and more convenient for everybody. With the Web Studio, we bring both of these qualities to our Colour Mobile VMS products. Its primary feature is that it allows you to operate and update the Colour Mobile VMS signs from any Wi-Fi enabled machine, like a laptop, mobile phone or tablet.

The innovative remote technology allows you to view a map, detailing all of the locations of your signs. It also enables you to zoom in so that you can see the current message on the sign and then update it to the latest message or alter the functionality (e.g. colour, design). As well as this, you will be able to receive SMS and email messages whenever a sign requires maintenance.

The Web Studio can also remotely control radar devices that have been attached to the signs, allowing you to change the speed limits or even schedule a change for future display messages. This mobile service is ideal for those operating a wide range of signs at any one time, like the police force, traffic agencies or local councils.

If you would like to contact us about our Web Studio systems, please email us through our contact page or call us on 01629 580 570.
