| 摘要： | Static speed limit signs are conventionally used in the U.S. to assist motorists in safe selection of speeds. Although appropriate to use under near ideal conditions, such signs fail to provide accurate information on speed selection when traffic and environmental conditions are less than ideal. This paper documents the findings from a state-of-the-practice review on variable speed limit systems. Such systems dynamically update posted speed limits to better reflect prevailing traffic and environmental conditions. The paper reviews and compares characteristics of variable speed limit systems, and discusses potential benefits and limitations associated with their deployment. Examples of domestic and international applications of variable speed limit systems are presented, together with an assessment of their potential capabilities towards enhancement of traffic operations. |
