LED TECHNOLOGY BASICS
LED is an abbreviation for light-emitting diode. An LED is a solidstate electronic device that is more efficient at creating light than an incandescent lamp. LEDs contain chemical compounds that emit light when electric current passes through them. Different chemical compounds emit different colors of light. Unlike incandescent lamps, LEDs have no filaments that can burn out or fail.

VIEWING ANGLE CONSIDERATIONS

Road configurations and DMS locations affect DMS legibility. Vanguard DMS offer two viewing angle options: 30 degrees wide viewing angle for roadside placement 70 degrees* wider viewing angle for broad roadways and municipal streets Use the graphic to the right to learn how wide a viewing cone should be to fit your application. Recent LED technology developments allow agencies to install DMS with LEDs that have a greater viewing angle rather than tilting the modules or display. Contact Daktronics for help in determining what viewing angle is best for your application.

LED TECHNOLOGY BASICS
66mm 21 pixels per sq foot
RESOLUTION means the number of pixels in the physical area of the DMS. The greater the number of pixels per square foot, the greater the amount of detail displayed. Factoring in viewing distance, DMS used in roadway applications typically do not require resolutions of less than 20 mm. The three examples below show MUTCD-approved graphics as if they were displayed on a five-foot-high DMS.
TEXT SIZE VIEWING RANGE

The table below can help determine the appropriate character size for a display based on viewing distance or the speed at which the viewer may be traveling. Contact Daktronics for help in determining what viewing angle is best for the application. Viewing times are in seconds.

DMS APPLICATIONS
Daktronics offers a wide range of DMS products for any roadway application. Vanguard DMS can display character heights ranging from 6 to 18 inches, as well as the viewing angles and industryaccepted brightness to ensure DMS legibility in any roadway setting.
ARTERIAL ROADS
Minimize congestion, reduce accidents, manage event traffic and communicate alerts on roads with high traffic volumes. Variable toll rates, travel times and speed limits as well as dynamic lanes are gaining popularity on arterial roads.
FREEWAY
High-speed freeway applications require large, bright characters to maximize viewing times that may last only a few seconds. They also require easily maintainable DMS that minimize disruptive lane closures.

DMS APPLICATIONS
TRAVEL TIME
Displaying travel times can effectively increase the publics perception of DMS. When large DMS must display other critical information, smaller dedicated displays installed on the same route ensure the availability of the travel time information.
TOLL FACILITIES
Provide convenience and reduce toll booth congestion by displaying clear instructions and lane options. Many toll agencies choose the full-color, high resolution capabilities of these displays to improve communication as motorists approach toll booths. DMS also benefit toll roads by offering traffic information, creating another incentive for motorists to use the road.

Notes 1. Display cabinet depth dimensions include zee-extrusion mounting brackets on the rear of the cabinet. Contact Daktronics for specific mounting details. 2. Nominal character heights and number of lines that fit on each DMS are calculated using 7-pixel-high fonts. Many other font sizes are available. Contact Daktronics for details about other fonts. 3. The number of characters per line is calculated using a fixed-width 7-pixel-high by 5-pixel-wide font and one pixel seperator between characters. Contact Daktronics for character capacity using other fonts. 4. Amps Per Leg numbers are based on a maximum load of typical DMS, including a fully loaded 15A convenience outlet. Maximum current is a per leg value for 120/240 3W+G system. This number could vary depending on options installed in the DMS, such as cabinet heaters and auxiliary control panels. Contact Daktronics for more information. 5. Typical power includes a partially illuminated LED sign (with 15 percent of the pixels at 100% intensity), the sign controller, and ventilation system. 6. Line and character matrix also available. Please contact Daktronics for more information. 7. Consistent with Daktronics continuous improvement program, all product features are subject to change without notice.
