摘要: |
In Europe and many other countries, winter is characterized by cold and wet weather, resulting in road surface covered frequently by snow and ice and hence dangerous driving conditions. Accurate and timely forecasts of when and where road surfaces will freeze are important for highway engineers responsible for winter road maintenance. To fulfill this task, an automated short term (3 to 6 hours ahead) road ice prediction model was developed and has been used in real time operation since 1996. This paper describes a technique to improve model forecasts by automatically tuning physical parameters required by the model and an application of internet/intranet for information gathering and information dissemination for winter road maintenance. |
