SRL Traffic Systems has delivered the first long-term contract for its flexible REMOS package, in a seven-figure deal with Go Traffic Management.
The contract allows the traffic management specialist to provide construction contractors, highways authorities and utilities providers operating short-term schemes with swift and extensive ad-hoc access to what is believed to be the UK’s first scalable remotely operated mobile signal solution, designed to promote road worker safety.
Europe’s largest manufacturer and supplier of portable and ITS solutions developed REMOS in association with GTM. The flexible package enabling ad-hoc deployment on short-term schemes was launched in July 2025, following customer feedback generated by the product’s trials and market familiarisation exercises.
The three-year contract covers the delivery of an initial 20 x three-way REMOS bundles to GTM’s nationwide network of depots, with a view to providing an additional 70 in the first half of 2026.
Comprising portable traffic signals with built-in radar sensors and CCTV cameras that detect vehicle movement and stream footage of approaching traffic, REMOS captures and transmits data from remote traffic management control (RTMC) boxes to SRL’s Solihull Control Centre, where dedicated staff analyse it in real time and efficiently make interventions to ensure optimal traffic flow: SRL estimates that REMOS typically increases the rate of traffic flow around roadworks by 30-50% in relation to mobile solutions operated on site. It is available in two- three- and four-way packages.
The flexible, ad-hoc REMOS package requires users to provide SRL with just two hours’ notice to commence remote operation, and they may decide how to allocate up to 12 hours of remote monitoring and control per day.
The contract will help GTM’s customers to minimise the number of traffic management operatives stationed on site in live traffic lanes and improve road worker safety. Over 1 2,300 UK personnel reported verbal or physical assault by road users in 2023, with over 50% claiming weekly abuse. Between 2024 and 2025, 35 UK construction workers were killed, 9% by moving vehicles.
Said GTM’s contract director, Simon Horrocks:
“Road worker safety is of paramount importance to GTM and we are proud not only to have worked with SRL in REMOS’ development but also to become the first traffic management specialist to sign a long-term contract with the company for its flexible REMOS package, allowing us to provide customers operating short-term schemes with swift and extensive ad-hoc access to the high-performance solution.
“As well as protecting road workers from accidents and abuse, REMOS guards against human error
caused by fatigue or inability to see the full system and performs even in poor weather conditions.
The environmental benefits for customers are also significant, as fewer traffic management operatives
are required to travel to site.
“The three-year duration of the deal will work well for us from a business perspective, as it enables us
to plan and resource with certainty and efficiency.”
