Description
Fortel Traffic’s VCalm®L is a powerful, lightweight traffic calming sign, leveraging trusted VCalm® components embedded within a MUTCD-compliant retroreflective regulatory sign.
Low Cost
VCalm®LM does not require an additional battery box, allowing for economical solar installations.
Brightest Display
VCalm® utilizes high-volume, high-intensity, tightly-clustered LEDs to maintain the highest visibility possible.
Simplest Programming
SD Card provides practically limitless data storage space (40 years of data per gigabyte) and makes programming and data retrieval simple and affordable. (SDHC compatible)
Lightweight
VCalm®LM Series features signs weighing as low as 25lb or less, allowing convenient placement on perforated tube, Telespar, or Unistrut.
Lowest Power Consumption
VCalm® uses proprietary PWMS™ LED technology that consumes 50% less power than common LED technology. Our programming delivers exceptional autonomy for solar/battery installations in a much smaller package size.
Unrivaled Versatility
Supports Instant Critical Messaging as well as custom messaging based on unique road conditions, activities, or events. Multiple independently scheduled vehicle speed thresholds can trigger any variation of messages and/or auxiliary devices.
Lithium Batteries
VCalm®LM signs are configurable with single or dual internal lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.
Strongest Construction
VCalm® maintains superior construction and durability with high quality components and no moving parts. The design meets the NEMA-3R specifications, and many of the VCalm® signs have withstood severe conditions, including hurricanes, fires, and extreme temperatures. VCalm® has consistently proven to be the longest lasting speed sign in the industry.
Easy and Accurate Reporting
Traffic Data Acquisition System (TDAS) collects the fastest and slowest speed for each vehicle. The software uses this data to calculate the percentage of slowing vehicles and prove the device’s effectiveness.
Quick Disconnect Bracket System
VCalm®L and VCalm®LM signs can utilize Fortel’s quick disconnect bracket system, specifically designed for perforated tubes. This system allows cities and counties to efficiently move signs where they are needed to minimize driver complacency and advanced data collection for traffic studies.
