45、e Standards for Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), with NTCIP Requirements, was developed as a design and implementation guide for dynamic traffic messaging equipment that can be safely installed and provided to the end user with operational features based on current technology. Within the standard, any r

46、eference to a specific manufacturer is strictly for the purpose of defining interchangeability where there exists no nationally recognized standard covering all the requirements. The manufacturer references do not constitute a preference. The TS 4 Standards Publication is intended to reduce hazards

47、to persons and property when traffic-messaging equipment is properly selected and installed in conformance with the requirements herein. The users attention is called to the possibility that compliance with this standard may require use of an invention covered by patent rights. By publication of thi

48、s standard, no position is taken with respect to the validity of any claims or of any patent rights in connection therewith. In the preparation of this Standards Publication, input of users and other interested parties has been sought and evaluated. Inquiries, comments, and proposed or recommended r

49、evisions should be submitted to the concerned NEMA product Subdivision by contacting the: Vice President, Technical Services National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1300 North 17th Street Rosslyn, Virginia 22209 The Dynamic Message Sign Technical Committee developed this standard at the request of the NEMA Transportation Management Systems and Associated Control Devices Section of which it is a part. Section approval of the standard does not necessarily imply that all Section members voted for its approval or participated in its development. At the time it wa
