Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses the human factors issues related to the reading and comprehension of variable message sign (VMS) messages. A review of the literature was conducted on factors that affect how people read VMSs. Several topics were reviewed. The first topic was literacy. Since reading literacy is not a requirement for obtaining a driver's license, VMS composition should reflect the varied reading competence levels of motorists. It was found that about 25% of Virginians over the age of 16 are weak readers and will likely encounter problems reading VMSs. The second topic addressed how people read. Reading is an interactive process that derives much of its speed and accuracy from implicit knowledge acquired through familiarity. This implies that VMS messages should present familiar, standardized content whenever possible. A review of the literature on warning signs was the third topic. Effective warning signs should have several properties: Short, concise messages are both easier to read and more likely to be read. Signal words, such as CAUTION, are not effective. Finally, areas for further research were identified. Symbolic messages and abbreviations are worthy of further investigation as they have the potential for easy recognition, provided they are familiar to motorists and can be accommodated by the VMS. In addition, although the MUTCD advises angling the VMS away from the roadway to reduce headlight glare, angling the VMS toward the roadway could be desirable for increasing readability. In both these areas, theoretical and practical work is needed. The report recommends that these human factors characteristics and limitations be taken into consideration in the deployment of VMSs and in the composition of their messages.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive research effort to develop operator's manuals for variable message signs (VMSs) was undertaken to improve the operations of both portable and permanent (fixed-site) VMSs in Virginia. This report describes the development of two manuals, the Permanent VMS Operator's Manual and the Portable VMS Operator's Manual which will be published separately. These manuals were based on information obtained from the literature, VMS operators, and motorists. Issues addressed by the manuals include when a VMS should be used, where a portable VMS should be placed, and the design of the VMS message. The manuals are not simply a list of pre-defined messages. They are a series of concise modules guiding the operator through the thought process required to use a VMS effectively. The operator follows a logical decision tree from module to module, to achieve the best placement and best message for a VMS. Effective VMS use actually requires a complex thought process, despite the apparent simplicity of the messages. The manuals include essential material about VMS operation. Based on theoretical calculations and motorists' experiences, it is strongly recommended that a VMS use no more than two message screens. A single message screen is preferred. VMSs should be used only to advise drivers of changed traffic conditions and convey specific traffic information concisely. Due to limited information capabilities, VMSs should be used in conjunction with other means of communication such as highway advisory radio and static signs. Most importantly, it is crucial that credibility be maintained. Incorrect information can have extreme consequences in terms of VMS effectiveness.
