5. Definition: Signs that are capable of displaying a variety of messages FMS uses:  Warn motorists of congestion due to incidents  Display travel times for roadway segments

6. Definition: Cameras that are used to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors FMS uses:  To detect and confirm incidents on major routes in the Toledo area

7. Definition: Low powered AM radio stations that provide motorists with traffic information FMS uses:  To provide motorists travel times, incident information, construction activities, and on-going or special events that may impact traffic

8. Definition: Devices used to gather real-time speed data FMS uses:  Formulate the speed data to produce travel times  Detect real-time traffic conditions  May provide traffic counts

9.  DMS - in advance of system-to-system interchanges or other primary diversion opportunities  CCTV - continuous coverage if possible; spot locations as necessary  HAR - similar to DMS but anticipate 5-9 mile range  TMC - District 2 office
