摘要: This application was identified as a promising rural Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) solution under a project sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the ENTERPRISE program. This summary describes the solution as well as opportunities for expansion into the broader context of rural ITS. Information on road and weather conditions is of interest to all travelers. In extreme conditions such as winter snow storms, the timely receipt of accurate information enables maintenance personnel to proactively treat road surfaces, to remove ice or snow, or even to close roads where conditions are most hazardous. Access to appropriate weather information has the potential to improve operations, prevent damage to property and save lives. Increasingly, agencies are looking to improve the sophistication of weather and road condition information collection and dissemination and to provide reports specific to local areas. This solution is an existing service, which could form the basis of added-value services provided by local agencies to broadcast weather information to travelers and other interested users in a cost-effective manner.
