Increasing in sophistication beyond dynamic message signs and Furthermore, the means of transmitting information are Real-time and historical dataâboth quantitative and qualita. Grating multiple data are becoming more sophisticated andĬomplex as well, blending multiple sources of data, including Traveler-to-traveler information sharing.
