摘要：	As traditional methods for snow and ice control is being enhanced with technology, a host of issues arise relating to implementing Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS). Oftentimes, it is not the technologies itself that present problems rather it is the institutional issues relating to the introduction of such systems. The effect that institutional issues have on public transportation agencies through the introduction and use RWIS is an area of concern for the Aurora program. This paper discusses the findings of the institutional issues research study performed for Aurora, a multi-national RWIS consortium consisting of: Environment Canada, the Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia, Wisconsin Departments of Transportation; the Ontario Ministry of Transportation; and the Swedish National Road Administration. The primary intent in funding this project was to learn from the experiences of others in implementing and operating RWIS technologies. The project concentrated on those institutional barriers that have prevented agencies from smoothly implementing and deploying RWIS. The study consisted of: v reviewing previous research undertaken into the institutional issues associated with RWIS planning, development, and implementation; and v surveying Aurora member agencies. The institutional issues determined from the study have been categorized according to funding, staffing, partnerships and the expandability, transferability, and compatibility of R/WIS issues. The resulting product was a compendium of findings and lessons learned. It is hoped that the cooperative exchange of these findings and learning from the institutional issues of predecessors may facilitate this process for other agencies.
