Aqualite Display Solutions supplied and installed 2 high-brightness, IP66-rated 3m x 2m outdoor LED display screen for Redbridge Council, delivering roadside digital signage, transport hub communication and real-time public safety messaging in a high-traffic urban environment.
This case study is written for local authorities, highways departments, transport operators, estates teams, infrastructure planners and public sector procurement specialists seeking outdoor LED display screens for roadside signage, transport hubs, public safety communication and digital information systems.
Public sector environments demand durable, high-visibility and continuously reliable display solutions capable of operating in all weather conditions while delivering clear, real-time messaging to large audiences.
The Requirement
Redbridge Council required a large-format outdoor digital display solution to support roadside communication, transport-related messaging and public information delivery in a busy urban location.
The objective was to:
- Deliver real-time public information to pedestrians and road users
- Support transport and traffic messaging in high-flow areas
- Promote community initiatives and council services
- Enhance public safety communication including alerts and awareness campaigns
- Replace static signage with a flexible digital platform
The system needed to operate continuously, maintain high visibility in direct sunlight and remain fully functional in all weather conditions.
The Challenge
Roadside and public sector display installations present complex operational challenges:
- High ambient light and glare: ensuring visibility for drivers and pedestrians
- Exposure to weather: resistance to rain, wind, temperature variation and pollution
- Traffic-facing positioning: clear readability at distance and speed
- Public safety requirements: reliable communication of critical information
- Urban integration: fitting within streetscapes without disruption
- Controlled brightness: minimising light impact during night-time hours
Additionally, the display needed to support dynamic messaging across multiple use cases, from transport updates to emergency communications.
