With such high volumes on traffic, there was an increasing need to improve traffic management for vehicles approaching the toll plaza.
GSPK Design has worked closely with Henry Williams, a company originally formed to manufacture control and signalling equipment for use on railway networks.
Having now expanded in to the highways industry, Henry Williams enlisted the help of GSPK Design to develop the control PCBs and LED road stud PCBs for the LED lane lights in order to maximise throughput and minimise delay to traffic at the toll booths on the Tamar Bridge.

The unit comprised of a backplane PCB, control board PCB, driver board PCB and LED boards which were placed within the road studs.
The backplane and control boards were then fitted into a 19in rack system contained within a Henry Williams road side control box.
GSPK Design was under pressure to complete the project in a relatively short period of time in order to fit the tight programme for the major plaza refurbishment contract.
Working closely with the Henry Williams team, GSPK Design successfully completed the re-engineering and manufacture of the units within record time, allowing Henry Williams to complete the final assembly and installation on to the bridge.
Technical Sales Director for GSPK Design, Steve Henderson said: 'The units we have developed alongside Henry Williams' team have been a success and are now fully commissioned'.
'We are pleased to have been able to assist them with this demanding project'.
