SWARCO Traffic helps ease traffic flow at the Southampton Ocean Cruise Terminal

completed

Intelligent Variable Message Sign (VMS) technology from SWARCO Traffic Ltd is helping to better manage traffic flow at the newly upgraded Southampton Ocean Cruise Terminal. Five SWARCO VMS have been installed to advise drivers on lane information, managed via a local control system so that messages can be adjusted in-line with traffic flow. The signs are equipped with energy efficient LEDs capable of displaying full colour text and images with no restrictions. Scheduled messages can be programmed, or emergency messages displayed with ease. The capacity at Southampton Ocean Cruise Terminal has significantly increased following a £6 million upgrade project undertaken by GRAHAM. The Terminal can now handle larger ships and manage increased volumes of traffic from the additional cruise passengers.
