ROAD WEATHER INFORMATION SYSTEMS VOLUME 1: RESEARCH REPORT

S E Boselly, G S Doore, John E. Thornes, C Ulberg

Open publisher page 35 citations

Abstract

This report provides an overview of roadway snow and ice control practices, the types of road weather information currently available, the means for communicating road weather information, and the uses for such information in roadway snow and ice control. The report presents the results of field tests conducted to answer questions on the location of road weather information systems (RWIS), and to discuss a methodology used to determine possible cost-reduction ranges for RWIS implementation in support of roadway snow and ice by state and local highway maintenance agencies in support of snow and ice control activities.
