Evaluation System for Evaluating the VMS Guidance Effect

With the VMS (Variable Message Signs) gradually and extensively used in major cities, it is necessary to develop a related evaluation system to evaluate its guidance effect systematically and efficiently. This paper primarily studies on developing a system to make the evaluation work more simply and quickly, and it chiefly contains the following five aspects: Firstly, conducting the system requirement analysis. Secondly, designing the overall system framework; Thirdly, designing and achieving every module’s function; Fourthly, study on the main models used in the system; Finally, applying the evaluation system to practice by taking one road network of Beijing as an example. As a result, it indicates that the system can be successfully applied in practice. In addition, it can also save time and money.
