摘要：	Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) have been in use in Ohio since 1984. They have proven their value in Districts 2, 6, and 12, as evidenced by their continued use. In order to continuously improve the level of service, the ODOT Office of Maintenance Administration has expressed a desire to expand Ohio's RWIS network statewide and to encourage the use of anti-icing methods. Brine treatment for anti-icing has been used in the northern part of the state, and is now being expanded statewide. This report was contracted to help ODOT determine the best way to serve the state's winter maintenance needs, particularly regarding how many and what kind of RWIS stations to deploy. A variety of methods were used to gather information for this purpose, including an extensive literature review, several field visits with winter maintenance personnel in Ohio, other states, and Switzerland, a survey of winter maintenance personnel nationwide, a product review, and a bench test of pavement sensors. The bench test of pavement sensors is reported on separately in a second part of this study.
