Abstract

A road sign device (1) for transmitting information in real time comprises a lighting component (10) that can be anchored in the ground and a control unit (20) linked to the lighting component (10). The lighting component (10) in turn comprises a first layer (11), a fibrous base (12) embedded in the first layer (11), a second layer (13) overlying the first layer (11) and the fibrous base (12), a third layer (14) located between the fibrous base (12) and the second layer (13), an electronic unit (15) embedded in the third layer (14) and provided with connection means (16) for linking it to a control unit (20), and a LED display for displaying the information provided by the control unit (20). The control unit (20) comprises a programmable microcontroller (21) for generating the information and a decoder (22) for converting the information.

Abstract

Road sign plate in which there is a fibreglass base plate (1) with LED strips thereupon which have electrically conductive tracks that are connected via connection means to a power source, and which have at least one power bus, a strip, on one side of the base plate to connect the connection means (4) to the LED strips. There is also a first layer of resin into which the base plate is embedded and a second layer of resin overlying the first.
