In displaying messages on highways and high traffic areas Variable Message Signs (VMS) fill an important function in providing timely, pertinent, dynamic and useful information to the traveller. The technology presented in this paper provides significant advantages over alternate methods of accomplishing this task. The magnetic, retroreflective disk offers a variable message display technology which makes good use of the capabilities of modern microprocessors. Together they provide a system capability with a unique set of characteristics valuable in a variety of applications.
