       Notes - general: Abstract: The report summarises the state of available
                        variable message sign technology worldwide.  There are
                        two basic types of variable message sign in use:
                        Electro-mechanic and Light emitting, there are also
                        various combinations of the two.  The uses of these
                        types of variable message signs are listed.
                        Newtechnologies foe variable message signs sucha as
                        liquid crystal/fibre-optic display signs are also
                        discussed.  The report lays the foundation for
                        detailed analysis of the feasibility of developing
                        these signs into remote sign changing systems for the
                        use at roadworks.  The report also sets out the
                        criteria for that analysis.
