School zone systems
School zone systems consist of at least two signs equipped with built-in Doppler radar. Signs are activated when the approaching vehicle exceeds the threshold speed. They are made in accordance with the most demanding world standard for LED traffic signalization – EN12966, in the highest classes. Signs are designed to be easy to use, maintain, and last long. They are made in accordance with the most demanding world standard for LED signalization – EN12966. Our optics are in the highest classes: Luminance L3, Luminance ratio R3, Colour C2, Beam Width B6 or B7, with very low LED current for each color. This ensures high visibility, low consumption, and long LED lifespans.
Signs are delivered with advanced, user-friendly control and diagnostics software for tablets and laptops – Command Console.
Various designs and configurations
Sign design and system configurations can be customized to meet customer requirements, standards, and specific projects, and they are fully configurable. Our salespersons are open to working with you on designs that are most suitable for your project.
School zone system 1
This school zone system uses LED traffic signs with built-in Doppler radar, placed on opposite sides of the street. Signs are in size B – circle diameter 650mm (recommended for city streets and regional roads), fully compatible with the European standard EN12966.
Signs used in this system display the speed limit and the actual measured speed of approaching vehicles. When the school is closed, signs show the speed limit of 50 km/h, and when the school is open, they show the speed limit of 30 km/h. A five-year calendar is stored in the sign memory, and each day can be divided into several periods. For example, during the night, weekends, and school breaks, the sign displays a 50 km/h speed limit and the current vehicle speed, while during working days from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m., it changes to a 30 km/h speed limit. If the approaching vehicle drives too fast, the digits will start blinking to warn the driver to slow down.
Some recommended school zone systems:
Sign Type
TRS-VASL65+YS
Display when the vehicle speed is below the speed limit
Displays a speed limit of 30 km/h
Display when the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit
Displays speed limits of 30 km/h
Display when the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit
Displays speed limits of 52 km/h
School zone system 2
This school zone system uses LED traffic signs with built-in Doppler radar, placed on opposite sides of the street. Signs show measured speed and warn drivers who drive unsafely with flashing and police blinkers.
The sign has two threshold speeds that activate it. One is valid during school hours, and the second is valid during the night, weekends, and school breaks. When the approaching vehicle exceeds the threshold speed, the police blinkers are activated.
Flashing lights are intended to be displayed only during the most critical periods (when children arrive at school or go home, or when the road is busiest with pedestrians).
So, in normal operation, the sign displays the measured speed, while in critical periods, the flashers are activated.
Some recommended school zone systems:
Sign Type
Sign display when the vehicle speed is below the first speed threshold
Sign display when the approaching vehicle speed exceeds the first speed threshold
Sign display during periods when students are arriving at or leaving the school
Control Center
School zone systems can be connected to the City Control Center and monitored and controlled remotely, in real time. City Control Center is a software platform that represents DMV`s solution for implementing the concept of smart mobility in cities, with the intention of increasing the safety of traffic participants and reducing traffic congestion
Control Center is a web portal for managing and controlling various signs. The platform offers a simple way to access and manage the system. To learn more about the Control Center, visit the following.
