The variable message signs (VMS) have been widely used in guiding and managing the dynamic traffic with development of intelligent transportation technologies. It is known that cell transmission model (CTM) can well reproduce such traffic dynamics as shock waves and jams. This paper employs the CTM to study the location problem of VMS information board. Simulation results show that there exists an optimal VMS location to minimize the total travel time of the traffic system. How changes of route choice probabilities before and after a traffic accident affect the optimal VMS location is also investigated and it is concluded that the VMS should be placed far from very serious accidents.
