Abstract:
This report is a summary of some of the information that was assembled and presented in final report FHWA-TS-90-043 entitled, "Guidelines on the Use of Changeable Message Signs". This summary report focuses on matrix-type CMSs, with particular attention to the newer light-emitting signs. Although there are many types of new and emerging CMS technologies, CMSs that have actually been installed for highway applications are emphasized.
