摘要: Communications in Iceland are heavily dependent on weather conditions. Icelandic Public Roads Administration (PRA) has recognized that information about the weather, the development of the weather, and the conditions in the public communication system must be as correct as possible in order to ensure the safety of travelers/commuters. The PRA has strongly focused on that factor in its prioritization of projects. The PRA's experience from these forecasts is quite good, and the service is capable of providing important information regarding the planning of winter road service as the forecasts have decreased the response and preparation time for icing prevention and snow plowing. The beginning time of precipitation and pending icing conditions is now known with sufficient accuracy facilitating the launching of icing prevention measures before such conditions occur, as well as ensuring that the snow plowing equipment is on the road before snowing begins.
