• Abstract:
  Studies in other states and countries have shown that Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) can improve the efficiency of snow and ice control operations and reduce accidents. The RWIS network in Wyoming is presently comprised of 27 roadside weather stations (referred to as remote processing units or RPUs), and a stand-alone site on Teton Pass orginially intended for avalanche forecasting. RWIS systems in adjecent states presently consist of 59 weather stations in Montana, 36 in South Dakota, 13 in Nebraska, 64 in Colorado, 8 in Utah, and 15 in Idaho. Coordination and integration of data with these other states is potentially synergistic and could enhance the value of the Wyoming system.
