WARWICK – A Warwick company is leaving its mark on Michigan’s highways.
SES America Inc., a manufacturer of messaging technologies in the transportation industry, is manufacturing and installing full-color LED “dynamic trailblazer” signs for the Michigan Department of Transportation on Interstate 75 through an approximately $494,000 contract, according to MDOT spokesman Jeff Cranson. The signs feature both a “static” message and changeable display.
Manufacturing will continue into early summer, with deployment of the remaining signs expected later this year.
According to SESA, the signs are part of a “dynamic message sign” series designed to display travel time, toll rate, lane status or traffic control information. These signs are intended to divert and manage traffic, and reduce traffic queues and congestion on freeways in Macomber and Oakland counties. The signs are capable of showing a variety of arrows that re-direct traffic as necessary and are controlled by SESA’s controller, which is housed in a field cabinet near each site. The signs are placed strategically and display indicative arrows only when needed, SESA said.
