Abstract:The dynamic message sign (DMS) is becoming a more common sight on the nation’s highways. These signs can display timely messages related to travel. In typical workday traffic, DMSs can tell drivers how long it is likely to take them to reach a specific point further down the highway. Under special circumstances, a DMS can make drivers aware of incidents that affect traffic flow, and the signs can instruct drivers about detours. In the event of a large-scale event, DMSs can guide drivers along evacuation routes.
