Why is it important?

The new types of VMS are Network-Level Guidance Signs, Road Section Signs, and Entrance Condition Signs. The former two types provide traffic information in a graphical form, and the third type provides information about on-ramp condition in a textual style. ATIS composition, VMS functions, VMS information provision method, VMS site placement, real world evaluation, and future research recommendations are presented.

Perspectives

This paper will give useful references and implications for better GRIP design and operations.
