| 摘要： | Accurate weather information is a critical element in the daily lives of most Americans. In many cases, weather information helps us determine when to take a trip, which route, or whether to go at all. It guides the actions of state departments of transportation that maintain our interstates and state highways. It also affects how and when our commerce is transported. When weather turns wintry with snow and ice it can not only change our daily habits, it can be deadly. Over 17% of all fatal crashes occur during winter weather conditions. Of those, 60% happen in rural areas (most on non-interstate roadways). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Weather Team believes more accurate and accessible weather information is the solution to these issues. FHWA recently awarded a rural ITS Operational Test to the FORETELL Consortium to demonstrate approaches to deliver accurate weather information to all who need/want it. As with all ITS Field Operational Tests, the FHWA also will conduct an independent evaluation of the project. FHWA selected Battelle to perform the evaluation. The first step in the evaluation project is to develop an overall strategy for conducting the evaluation. This report defines that strategy. |
