O 9 VMS Domain Operations Paul van der Kroon, Copenhagen May 2005
FIVE • Framework on Implementation of VMS in Europe • 2000: Endorsed by WERD/DERD • 2004: CEDR-EB asked SGT to investigate hampering implementation SGT Copenhagen meeting, May 2005
Gaps identified via VMS-action • New needed pictograms for dynamic situations (see FIVE list such as "bad visibility", COST 30 and symbols for new traffic management situations such as "temporary use of hard shoulder"), • Use of speed limits, and use of lane-control signs in terms of successive gantries, • Language independent symbols (+, =, ->, …) in text messages, • Some more clear rules specifying the text structure, • A focus on a clear distinction between immediate danger warning messages (close to the event) and informative ones (upstream). SGT Copenhagen meeting, May 2005
3 Parallel initiatives in Europe • Mare Nostrum (M-VMS Working Group) embraces FIVE and fill in gaps • UN-ECE WP1 road traffic safety (small working group of 4 countries) revision of resolution on road signs and signals (VC) • SOMS IN-SAFETY 6th FP develop new pictograms and structured rules SGT Copenhagen meeting, May 2005
Proposed actions for CEDR • Follow the existing initiatives regarding the development and testing of VMS pictograms and message structures (EU research project SOMS-IN Safety and M-VMS Working Group). • Support the on-going actions towards the UN-ECE to include VMS guidelines in the Vienna Convention • Monitor to the Thematic Domain Operation SGT Copenhagen meeting, May 2005
