Development of the Visualization Tool for the VMS Emulator System

Abstract

In this paper, we design and implement the visualization tool for the VMS (Variable Message Signs) emulator which can generate the data fields for the variable text message frame and can generate the window controls such as RadioButton, TextBox, ComboBox, and etc automatically in order to input the valid data value for the instances of variable data using the visualization tool. A variable message signs, often abbreviated VMS, is an electronic traffic sign often used on roadways to give travelers information about special events. However, VMS has the different sizes and shapes according to the city scene and the road types and it has to display the variable text message in real-time. And a VMS manufacturer must produce the different products according to each order made. In addition that, they should test and check the correct operation to each VMS order made goods using the variable message frame. That is very time and workers consuming and VMS emulator with automatic variable text message generator system and real-time scheduling using visualization tool is necessary.
