Cost-clever VMS

Submitted by admin on 2 May, 2013 - 11:41

Using a Sheriff Technologies SPACES / FULL sign is a cost-clever way of gaining the benifits of variable message signs in a car park using existing barrier or count equipment.

The VMS are voltage driven by 24v, meaning integration with almost all car park barriers is easy. The VMS then automatically switch between SPACES and FULL messages depening on car park status - advertising the availability of spaces to attract more visitors when spaces are available and prevent needless queuing and improve visitor experience when a car park is full.
