Title:

Variable Speed Control: Technologies and Practice

Abstract:

Static speed limit signs fail to provide accurate information on speed selection when traffic and environmental conditions are less than ideal. Paper documents findings from a state-of-the-practice review on variable speed limit systems. This paper reviews and compares characteristics of VSL systems, and discusses potential benefits and limitations associated with their deployment.
