The project is aimed at determining the effectiveness of variable message signs in controlling traffic on an Interstate highway during periods of hazardous driving conditions such as fog, vehicle accidents, or congestion. The effectiveness of the signs is measured quantitatively by use of accident records, vehicular speeds, and headways. It appears that the signs are promising in preventing accidents during periods of reduced visibility due to fog.
