SRL Products for airports & ports

Reduce delays at airports and ports

The challenge

Constantly changing visitor numbers mean that traffic managers at ports and airports require 100% dynamic solutions to enable them to give up-to-date instructions to drivers and pedestrians, guiding them safely along the right routes at the right speeds to the right places, in response to ever-evolving contingencies.

Longer-term market developments mean that these organisations often undertake complex site development projects, many involving temporary roadworks.  Each presents managers with the challenge of keeping traffic flowing smoothly and safely, ensuring a positive user experience at all times.

And as well as being compact and highly portable, all solutions have got to be sustainable, in line with the industries’ ongoing quest to reduce their carbon footprint.

The solution

SRL works in partnership with port and airport management teams to deliver compact integrated, solar-powered, portable intelligent transport system (ITS) hire solutions to help them to achieve their safety, efficiency and sustainability targets.

High-resolution Smart Messenger VMS (variable message signs) provide visitors with crystal-clear directional and safety instructions – including speed limits – which can be instantly adapted in real-time response to changing scenarios.

Their full-colour, high-visibility capability also makes them ideal for commercial teams on the look-out for high-visibility marketing vehicles to capture visitors’ attention.

Along with VMS, portable traffic signals can be quickly and easily installed and repositioned in response to changing requirements, keeping traffic moving safely and efficiently at all times.

Whatever your needs, SRL will work in efficient partnership with you to design and deliver the ideal bespoke port or airport solution.

Testimonials

"The equipment we hire is always well maintained and the partnership we have is vital to the success of our contracts. We look forward to working with you for the long term… We are able to count on you at every step to go the extra mile to help us achieve for our clients."

Jim Bailey
Hatton TM

"I'd just like to say how impressed we are with the [Multiphase] ADS. Both 3-ways we installed were on major trunk roads in Bristol. Our customers (Bristol City Council and Vistry) have both  commented on how well the systems worked, keeping the traffic flowing. Thanks again for the great service you provide ETM"

Andy Macey
Assistant Manager
ETM

"This high-profile project has been challenging, and it was essential for us to improve the capacity of the busy city centre junction and improve journey times for motorists. I’ve worked with SRL for 12 years now and they have always been very responsive to our needs, so we had no hesitation in using them on this project. SRL’s UTMC system was ideal for this scheme and it has synchronised perfectly with the council’s permanent UTMC to significantly minimise the impact of roadworks during a lengthy project.”

Simon Phillips
Contracts Manager
Class One Traffic Management

"The ability to combine the flexibility of using temporary signals whilst also being able to control and co-ordinate timings with the Council’s existing permanent traffic signals, has been invaluable during construction works on the Trams to Newhaven project. Having now experienced the advantages of using SRL's UTMC temporary signals, we will be looking to specify their use in future projects to help keep everyone moving around Edinburgh."

Robert Mansell
Senior Engineer
City of Edinburgh Council

"The SRL UTMC System was a fantastic solution whilst we refurbished a set of permanent signals during the christmas period on an arterial route into the city. The product allowed us to maintain control of the tempoary signals and coordinate their operation with the surrounding permanent signals, notably reducing the impact of the road works for all road users."

Iain Moffat
Aberdeen City Council

“Given the high number of traffic lights we use, it’s quite common for the batteries to run low in half a dozen of them at around the same time. Unlike other products, if we only need to replace the battery, one van can get round all those units in a fraction of the time, money and resource it would take to replace the units in their entirety.”

David Moist
Premier Traffic Management

"SRL’s Multiphase ADS system was a huge advantage for us during the tender stage. Fully portable and flexible for our needs, the reactive, intelligent traffic light technology is 50% more efficient than standard signals. All 70 of SRL’s traffic signals for the Scottish Water contract are Multiphase ADS enabled."

Bryan Hosier
Head of Operations
HBS

"Introducing SRL Telematics has been a huge advantage for us. We now have live data on the status of all our signals and we can even see if they have been tampered with or moved - all without having to visit site. The time and cost savings on call-outs is significant, not to mention the reduction in our environmental impact.”

Dave Oswald
Managing Director

There’s nothing like Urban64® out there on the market. It is the only temporary system that has intelligent technology to allow for efficient phasing of traffic and pedestrian systems. This makes junctions flow better, eases road user frustration and reduces complaints. Like every product in SRL’s extensive range, Urban64® is robust and user-friendly and is backed by high levels of customer and technical support.
