Variable Message Panels
Variable message panels are shiny structures installed along the Milot – Morine highway, on average every 10km, dedicated to transmitting information about the Highway situation, in real time.
Through Variable Message Panels, Highway users are informed before entering the Highway, giving them the opportunity to access it or not. These users are also informed along the way on the Highway, with brilliant messages about various events, incidents, open sites, traffic or atmospheric conditions.
Only during situations with normal traffic, when there are no events to highlight, the panels transmit other typologies of messages, such as:
- Road Safety and driving behavior (seat belt, safety distance, etc.…)
- Services available on the Highway (Green Number, website, etc.…)
Currently on the Highway are installed 20 panels with variable messages.
Among other things, Variable Message Panels are for us a very important communication tool that we use to improve the behaviour in the direction of tools by users. Statistics show that over 90% of fatal accidents are caused as a result of misbehavior by users.
