What are the benefits of DMS?
A 4: By providing accurate and timely information, some motorists may decide to exit the freeway and use an alternate route for travel based on freeway conditions such as an incident or upcoming lane restriction or closure. These commuters benefit because the selected route will most likely get them to their destination faster than staying on the freeway. Those commuters that remain on the freeway will benefit from the reduction of congestion due to the diverted traffic. Overall, the DMS will benefit everyone by maximizing the efficiency of the existing transportation network resulting in more consistent speeds and travel times, reduced air pollution, and reduced driver frustration.
