Variable Message System

Put the right message on the road.

SoftLogix Variable Message Systems are full-colour outdoor LED boards that inform and warn the public in real time — safety messages, government schemes, live travel time, weather and air quality — in any regional language. Compose once, schedule it, and push to a single board or the whole network from one control room.

Overview

One board for every public message

A Variable Message System turns a stretch of road into a live channel — safety messages, travel time, weather and civic alerts — shown in full colour and any regional language, and updated the moment things change. Compose and schedule from the control room; the board does the rest, day and night.

LED display board

A sunlight-readable full-colour RGB matrix — IP65-rated and driven by a constant-current LED driver for stable, uniform visuals around the clock.

Control & scheduler software

Web- and LAN-based software to compose messages, build schedules and push content to a single board or the whole network.

Live data & sensors

Onboard weather and ambient-light sensors plus live feeds — travel time, air quality and forecasts — that keep the board current on their own.

Key Features

Everything a public information board should do

From full-colour multimedia and multilingual text to live data feeds and all-weather, 24×7 hardware — the capabilities that make a roadside sign genuinely useful.

Full-colour multimedia

An RGB matrix that shows text, images and video — far more than a fixed-text sign.

Multilingual Unicode text

Messages in English, Kannada, Hindi and any regional language, rendered in Unicode.

Content scheduler

Compose once, then schedule and send content from the control room — automatically or on demand.

Standards-compliant

Built to EN 12966, IRC and NTCIP standards for roadside variable-message signage.

Live travel-time data

Pulls current travel time, ETA and journey data straight onto the board from live feeds.

Weather & air quality

Shows temperature, humidity, wind speed, air quality and the live weather forecast from onboard sensors and feeds.

All-weather visibility

Stable, uniform, sunlight-readable visuals in every condition, with auto-brightness from ambient-light sensors.

24×7 high availability

Industrial design and a constant-current LED driver, backed by UPS, keep the board running through heat, rain and power cuts.

Central integration

Access-controlled integration with the central control room, plus wall-clock and third-party website feeds.

How it works

Compose. Schedule. Display.

One simple loop runs every board — from a message in the scheduler to bright, reliable visuals on the road, with the control room in charge of what shows where.

01

Compose

Build the message — text, image or video, in any language — or wire up a live feed like travel time, weather or air quality in the scheduler.

02

Schedule & push

Set time-slots and rules, then push securely to a single board or the whole network from the central control room.

03

Display & assure

Boards render bright, uniform visuals 24×7, auto-adjust to ambient light, and ride through power cuts on UPS backup.
