The final concept is a large electronic sign that informs users of up-to-date traffic conditions. The signs will be placed along major roads and highways that lead to, or are, highly congested traffic areas. Due to the speed of automotive vehicles, the signs will be roughly 125” x 125” on highways (approximately the size of an electronic street sign) and 24” x 24” on city streets (approximately twice the size of a street sign) in order to be easily legible.
The signs will provide time estimations for possible routes and will recommend detours when both reasonable and available. A time estimate for nearby public transportation will be provided to accommodate for those who must park a long distance from their desired location. In addition to the electronic signs, a mobile phone app will provide the same information as the electronic signs, as well as the capability to generate a route that minimizes time waiting in traffic.
