Abstract:Adverse weather can change a routine
trip to a life-changing event. Rain, snow,
ice, and the like are partly or fully responsible
for more than 1.5 million highway
crashes, more than 600,000 injuries,
and 7,000 fatalities on U.S. roads every
year. Adverse weather is also the second
leading cause of nonrecurring highway
congestion, accounting for about
25 percent of delays. No wonder, when
surveyed, travelers on our nation’s highways
clearly express the need for information
on weather conditions (Figure 1).
