Abstract:

Changeable Message Signs are electronic traffic signs that can be programmed to display

important messages that vary according to current roadway conditions, including the

presence of traffic congestion and accidents. CMSs can also be used to display messages

that are too long to fit on a single static sign. A “dual-phase” CMS divides a long mes-

sage into shorter messages displayed sequentially in phases lasting a certain number of

seconds.

Conveying a large amount of information is often achieved by displaying static signs at

short distances from each other, but the limited length of a highway segment may make

this unfeasible. The approach to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport includes

a large number of road signs in a relatively short distance. Unfortunately, while these

signs inform travelers of where to exit to reach one of two terminals, the signs do not

show which airlines are present at these terminals. Travelers who know only the name

of their airline may arrive at the wrong terminal and—because the two terminals do not

share a roadway within the airport—have to return to the highway to reach the correct

terminal.
