摘要：	The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has identified the potential to provide airports, particularly rural airports and helipads, with comprehensive and accurate meteorological data by integrating airport weather systems with those used by other agencies. In this project, the Western Transportation Institute (WTI) has worked in partnership with the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University to identify the specific data needs of aviation professionals, and to investigate whether data from existing sources can be integrated into a WeatherShare -type system to fulfill those needs. (WeatherShare is a Caltrans sponsored research system developed by the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University and is focused on weather information for surface transportation.) The AWOS and RWIS project is targeted at small, underserved rural airfields and heliports. During this project, a systems engineering process was followed. Such a system engineering approach increases the likelihood that the system will work, satisfy customer needs, and meet acceptable cost and schedule constraints. Through a literature review and a survey of a representative focus group from rural airports/heliports in Northern California, a high-level user requirements analysis was conducted, a system concept was created and a prototype system was developed. The system aggregates quality-controlled surface weather information, Caltrans closed-circuit television (CCTV), National Weather Service (NWS) radar, satellite imagery, winds aloft readings and several other aviation-related weather data from various sources, into a web-based interface accessible by pilots and operators from different airports through the Internet. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Mineta Transportation Inst., San Jose, CA.
