Microtima Ltd is a British electrical engineering company specialising in manufacturing products with the aim of increasing road safety and reducing traffic congestion.
Microtima Ltd Profile
Microtima has over 20 years experience within the road traffic industry. Our continued success relies on using tried and tested technology, robust product design and quality assured manufacturing processes.
Microtima Traffic and Parking solutions focus on reducing congestion in urban areas. We specialise in LED Variable Message Signs for city wide and multi-storey Parking Guidance Systems.
Our comprehensive product range includes school crossing signs to enhance child road safety and vehicle activated signs for the protection of accident black spots.
We offer a broad spectrum of services to our customers: manufacture, supply, installation and maintenance all to ISO 9001 quality standards.
School Safety
Children are amongst our most vulnerable road users. The Department for Transport identifies that road safety strategy should take into account children’s mobility needs, travel behaviour and reactive capabilities.
The top performing measures to enhance safety therefore include speed reduction initiatives focused on increased driver awareness in school zones during peak hours.
Microtima School Safety Products have been designed with this in mind. What’s more, they’re easy to programme around individual school’s requirements, long lasting and are available with a solar panel conversion to ensure they’re environmentally sound.
In conjunction with the Safer Routes to School programme, funding is available for every school that implements a School Travel Plan. To access funding, start with your local authority – speak to your Road Safety or School Travel Officer.
Series 5 Timer
The original purpose designed timer for automatic control of school safety signals
Create tailored 365 day schedules for schools on intuitive Windows based software. Up to 12 switch on/off times within 8 different day schedules.
With the advent of Bluetooth software technology, reprogramming the Series 5 unit is even simpler as it removes the need for a physical connection (serial cable) between the hand-held PC and the unit. Microtima’s Bluetooth functionality removes health and safety risks:
- No ladder work
- No need to open the housing
- No working next to the carriageway
- No working with live electricity
- No need to leave the vehicle
Schedules are uploaded in minutes, saving many hours of work each year.
Annual reprogramming file can be achieved very quickly and simply and eliminates the need to create a new data file each year.
- Power consumption of only 3.15W.
- 2 year programmable option available.
- Minute-by-minute control.
- Retro-fit design enables easy upgrade from key switch operated controllers.
- Option for USB connection via laptop instead of Bluetooth also available.
Vehicle Activated Signs
70% of road accidents resulting from excessive speed are more accurately defined as a result of speed inappropriate to the road characteristics or conditions. Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) alert drivers to road features or hazards where previously they would have failed to adapt their speed.
Microtima’s VAS are an interactive driver feedback mechanism proven to reduce speed and accident rates at specific locations without enforcement.
Microtima have taken vehicle activated signs back to first principles and engineered the most cost-effective choice available for local authorities wishing to tackle locations at high-risk of inappropriate speed.
Low profile design and fully integrated radar detection create a self-contained, easy to install and vandal resistant unit.
Speed Feedback and Speed Reactive versions, with solar powered option, are available
