ROAD WEATHER INFORMATION SYSTEMS VOLUME 2: IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE

S E Boselly, G S Doore, Dieter Ernst

Open publisher page 13 citations

Abstract

The Strategic Highway Research Program sponsored research into the use of road weather information systems (RWIS) for highway snow and ice control. The research indicated that the use of RWIS technologies can improve the efficiency and effectiveness as well as reduce the costs of highway winter maintenance practices. This Volume 2 implementation guide supplements Volume 1, the research report, which documents the research. Volume 2 describes RWIS technologies available, sources of weather information, communication requirements, guidance on siting RWIS, including sample Requests for Proposals for obtaining the necessary equipment and services.
