A study on the message display formats of portable variable message signs (VMSs) is presented. Through a series of laboratory driving simulation experiments, the influences of the interaction between display format and number of message lines and driving lanes were investigated. In the simulation, digitally created VMS stimuli were inserted into a driver's-view driving video, and the video was projected onto a screen in front of a stationary vehicle. Eighteen subjects from three age groups with balanced gender participated in the experiments. Each subject, sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle, was required to make proper responses signaling comprehension of the VMS stimuli. Subjects’ responses and accuracy were recorded in a database. On the basis of the statistical analysis of the collected data, it was found that discretely displayed messages took less response time than sequentially displayed messages. Singleline messages were better than multiple-line messages. Motorists could better view portable VMSs when they were driving in the outer lane. It was also found that older drivers exhibited slower response and less accuracy than younger drivers; women drivers exhibited slower response but higher accuracy than men drivers.

Message Signs

Variable message signs (VMSs), as one of the important ITS devices, provide real-time traffic information of road network to drivers in order to improve route choice and relieve the traffic congestion. In this study, the effectiveness of VMS on driving behavior was tested based on a driving simulation experiment. A road network with three levels of VMS location to route-diverging intersection and three types of VMS information format was designed in a high fidelity driving simulator platform. Fifty-two subjects who were classified by driver age, gender, and vocation successfully completed this experiment. The experimental results showed that driver characteristics, VMS location, and information format profoundly influence driving behaviors. Based on the research findings, it is suggested that VMS would be positioned between 150 m and 200 m upstream of the diverging point to balance the VMS effects on traffic safety and operation and the graphic information VMS format is better than the format with text massage only.

Operators of parking guidance and information systems (PGIS) often encounter difficulty in determining when and how to provide reliable car park availability information to drivers. Reliability has become a key factor to ensure the benefits of urban PGIS. The present paper is the first to define the guiding parking reliability of urban parking variable message signs (VMSs). By analyzing the parking choice under guiding and optional parking lots, a guiding parking reliability model was constructed. A mathematical program was formulated to determine the guiding parking reliability of VMS. The procedures were applied to a numerical example, and the factors that affect guiding reliability were analyzed. The quantitative changes of the parking berths and the display conditions of VMS were found to be the most important factors influencing guiding reliability. The parking guiding VMS achieved the best benefit when the parking supply was close to or was less than the demand. The combination of a guiding parking reliability model and parking choice behavior offers potential for PGIS operators to reduce traffic congestion in central city areas.
