time, and transmits die travel time information by wireless communication to changeable message signs
positioned at pre-determined locations al(»g die freeway section which in turn display the information to
the motorists. TIPS integrates several off-the-shelf equipment with the software and requires m i n i m al
human supervision during operation TIPS can display simple, easily-understood messages cm portable
changeable message signs, such as; MINUTES TO END OF WORK ZONE ” , or ” XX MINUTES
