摘要: This article describes a new tool that highway officials, road maintenance chiefs, and transit managers can use in their efforts to deal with adverse weather conditions on the highways. The FORETELL system provides, via the Internet, the timely, detailed, and relevant weather-related road information needed by state highway managers and the public. FORETELL is a multistate program, funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration and initiated as part of its Rural ITS Program, that integrates intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technology with advanced weather-prediction systems. The data sources, system parameters, and potential benefits to users of the FORETELL program are discussed.
