CONSTITUTION: The signal device 1 receives the general information sent from an information transmission part 9 by a transmission/-reception part 2. The information is inputted to a control part 3. The control part 3 consists of a ROM 4 stored with data and programs, a CPU 5 which executes the programs, and a RAM 6 stored temporarily with data in the process of processing. Data from the control part 3 are inputted to a display control part 7, which controls graphic data and character data to be displayed on a display part 8. The display part 8 consists of LEDs of three colors and a signal display of green, orange, and blue is made on a graphic display area.
