If you’re looking for traffic information signs that meet the specific needs of modern infrastructure, here’s a technology that will not go unnoticed.
At Fixalia, we manufacture variable message signs (VMS) and we manufacture trust. For over 40 years, we’ve been creating signage solutions for highways, tunnels, and Smart Cities. And we do it with something that can’t be replicated: a formula based on technology, experience, and talent, always with a clear vision of the future.
What is a VMS or Variable Message Sign and what is it used for?
A VMS (variable message sign) is an electronic device that displays real-time information to drivers: weather conditions, accidents, detours, or critical alerts. And as the name suggests, the messaging is variable — it adapts based on traffic conditions.
The main goal of VMS panels is clear: they are integrated into traffic management systems for highways, cities, and tunnels, helping to improve road safety and traffic efficiency.

A history built on facts, not catalogs
Fixalia was born from the legacy of two pioneering companies in Spain: ODECO Electrónica and ALBA Electrónica. We’ve built Fixalia on solid foundations, our own evolving technology, low-cost maintenance, and a strong commitment to our customers.
We currenly support more than 10,000 traffic information signs and handle post-sales service for over 90% of the VMS installed in Spain
5G-VX Technology: Traffic Information Signs Ready for the Future
When we developed the DEVA 5G-VX panels, we knew it wasn’t just about visual upgrades. It was a true functional revolution. We wanted our VMS to look better, show better graphics, and require minimal maintenance.
Key features:
- 5G technology generation and remote management from anywhere
- Full Matrix screen with 16.7 million colors
- TrueType fonts and animations to enhance message clarity
- Compatibility with international protocols such as DGT, DGT+, NTCIP, or Modbus
- Ultra-low power consumption, enabling solar energy systems
These traffic panels are robust, scalable, and future-ready systems built to evolve.

Traffic Information Signs for every need
We have a range of solutions to suit all types of installations:
For highways, motorways, and interurban roads
Fixalia’s traffic panels operate in real time. They receive instant data from ITS systems and display the messages needed to warn of incidents, manage speed, organize detours, or inform drivers about road status.
This technology ensures message updates in seconds, prioritizes critical alerts, and integrates with control centers to optimize road safety and flow, even under heavy traffic or adverse conditions.
VMS for urban environments and Smart Cities
Fixalia’s Variable Message Signs for urban areas play a key role in Smart City projects. Integrated with ITS platforms, they display live traffic restrictions, pollution levels, or detour information — essential for efficient urban mobility.
Urban managers can update traffic alerts in seconds. The result? Connected mobility, fast decisions, and safer streets.
VMS for tunnels and toll stations
Fixalia’s traffic information signs for tunnels and tolls are built to withstand extreme conditions and operate continuously, 24/7. They provide precise, real-time information: incidents, lane status, toll rates, or traffic direction changes.
Thanks to their rugged build and ITS compatibility, these VMS offer reliable performance in critical environments like tunnels, where pollution and traffic density are intense.
Trailer-mounted and mobile VMS
Fixalia’s mobile variable message panels are optimized for the demands of temporary and smart mobility.
Equipped with geolocation, remote updates, and solar power, they enable operators and authorities to deploy dynamic messages with maximum efficiency and sustainability, anywhere.
Their versatility makes them ideal for temporary signage during roadworks, urban events, detours, or special operations.
