'''Motorway Incident Detection and Automatic Signalling''', usually abbreviated to '''MIDAS''', is a distributed network of [[traffic]] and [[weather]] [[sensor]]s which are designed to set variable message signs and advisory speed limits with little human intervention. On the M25 and [[M42 motorway]]s, the MIDAS helps set mandatory variable speed limit signs as part of the ''controlled motorway scheme''.
