ITS - Intelligent Transport Systems
What is ITS?
The ITS network is a communications system that allows road authorities to better monitor and manage the roads, increasing safety, productivity and journey experience.
With over 1500 ITS devices across Melbourne’s Managed Motorway Network, VRX Industries are proud to assist in providing the construction and maintenance of many of these devices. Often the response times are short and the working times are late at night to ensuring we can work safely, have minimal impact to motorists and ensure maximum network availability of these networks.
ITS networks allow for safer and smarter journeys.

PROJECTS COMPLETED
Pole Replacement and Re-Commission of ITS Assets
VRX Industries upgraded an existing live pole to new involving the decommissioning and recommissioning of the associated ITS equipment. We project managed, supplied the pole, flatbed truck, hauled optical and power cables, spliced optical fibre, disconnected and reconnected the power and mounted the Pole Mounted Cabinet all to the Department Of Transport (DoT) standards).
Bluetooth Device Installs on Gantries
VRX Industries installed 32 Bluetooth Devices on existing gantries. Spanning from Pakenham to Sunshine and over to Greensborough, also requiring the installation of 1.5km of electrical cable. These Bluetooth Devices help to better understand traffic flow, improve travel times and reduce congestion on our road
Ramp Control Sign Upgrades
VRX Industries successfully upgraded 28 Ramp Control Signs (RC3) from RF Wireless to Cellular 4G. This work involved EWP’s, traffic management and night works. Legacy communication devices and cabling was removed. 4G modems and cabling was installed, and configuration of sign controllers was made to greatly improve the sign’s reliability and performance
Crash Damage
We respond and remediate crash damage to all types of roadside furniture. We are available 24/7 to make site safe and repair or replace.
Fault Response
Responding to faults means being well equipped with the right tools, software, being innovative, and having the capabilities to deal with any situation. VRX Industries has responded to faults for years making it a personal duty to deliver quality within short timeframes 24/7 and in sometimes difficult situations and environments.
Field Processor Upgrades
VRX Industries has completed over 50 Field Processor upgrades throughout Melbourne. These upgrades greatly increase the reliability and performance of the ITS network, and also reduce attendances and maintenance costs.
