摘要: Dynamic message signs (DMS) are used to communicate accurate, timely and pertinent information to travelers on roadways. This information helps travelers avoid hazards or delays and respond properly to changing roadway conditions. In an ideal environment state transportation departments would be able to allocate DMS to various areas of the state based upon changing needs. The location of each sign would be monitored, and the message could be controlled and checked remotely. Unfortunately, there are problems standing in the way of reaching this ideal situation. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet initiated a research project to identify and address these problems. The research project included collecting an inventory of the DMS in the state, reviewing policies of other states and organizations, and identifying needs and issues with regard to management and use of the signs using a focus group session. This information was used to develop recommendations for ways to improve the management and use of the DMS.
