RISC Software: What Happened Last Night on the Motorway and Why?

Overhead signs on Austria’s motorways are important for maintaining the flow of traffic. Decisions regarding recommended speeds or warnings to be displayed are chiefly made by automated systems on the basis of data received from various sensors. For instance, at times of increased traffic volumes, as measured by vehicle counts, a speed limit is displayed on the relevant stretches. In the event of rain or icy conditions – detected by sensors – a warning symbol is displayed. In the event of a tailback, notification of where following vehicles will meet it is given several metres in advance on the overhead sign. Provision is of course also made for manual operation or override at any time.
