Resource Abstract:

This report first provides a comprehensive state-of-the-practice review of existing hybrid sign applications in both the U.S. and around the world. The review focused on several application areas, including speed control, parking guidance, travel time and travel distance information, dynamic rerouting information, and graphical route information. Further, it also identifies the companies that manufacture and market hybrid signs in the U.S. It was found that only a small number of sign manufactures have hybrid sign products for applications other than variable speed limit signs.
