Abstract:To address localized high cross wind challenges, the Oregon and California Departments of
Transportation (ODOT and Caltrans, respectively) have used intelligent transportation systems
(ITS) installations to alert motorists of dangerously windy conditions automatically. The warning
messages are displayed to drivers at locations where they can stop and wait until the winds die
down or where they can decide to take a longer alternate route. Three systems have been
deployed in the rural California / Oregon Advanced Transportation Systems (COATS) study
area.
