Showcasing NTCIP-Compliant Dynamic Message Signs
At Stand 731, we showcased our latest NTCIP-compliant Vanguard dynamic message signs (DMS) and software solutions, trusted by agencies nationwide to deliver real-time, high-visibility messages that guide motorists, reduce congestion, and enhance safety. These signs are more than hardware—they’re part of a connected ecosystem that empowers traffic management centers (TMCs) to respond quickly and effectively.
Our dynamic message signs are a daily presence on thousands of U.S. roadways, helping millions of motorists make informed decisions with clear, timely information. We take pride in supporting agencies across the country with reliable solutions and responsive service.

Innovating Control Room Technology with COB LED Displays
We also highlighted our Chip-on-Board (COB) LED technology, which is transforming control room operations with superior contrast, wide viewing angles, and long-term reliability. These displays are ideal for high-resolution video walls and public-facing signage, helping agencies monitor and manage traffic with precision.
Driving Interoperability with Live Demonstration
One of the most exciting moments of the Congress was our participation in a live, multi-vendor interoperability demonstration which brought together devices, signals, and systems from 18 partner organizations on the show floor.
Attendees saw firsthand how devices from multiple vendors can work together to optimize traffic flow, improve safety, and deliver actionable, real-time data to agencies.
This live demo was a powerful example of what’s possible when ecosystem partners come together with a shared vision. Seeing our signage work seamlessly alongside other technologies in real time reinforces our commitment to innovation and supporting agencies with solutions that truly make a difference.
