• Abstract:
  This is a draft document for the Surface Transportation Weather Decision Support Requirements ; (STWDSR) project. The STWDSR project is being conducted for the FHWA’s Office of ; Transportation Operations (HOTO) Road Weather Management Program by Mitretek Systems, ; Inc. The STWDSR V1.0 document was delivered in January, 2000, and gave background on the ; program and an initial needs analysis for decision support to winter road maintenance. Since ; then, two stakeholder meetings have refined the needs analysis and reviewed the initial ; operational concept for the Weather Information for Surface Transportation Decision Support ; System (WIST-DSS). The WIST-DSS is the conceptual system on which the STWDSR are levied, and the operation of which is described in this Operational Concept Description (OCD). ; The STWDSR V1.0 should be referred to for full project background, that will be summarized in ; this introduction. The STWDSR through V2.0 is focusing on decision support requirements for ; winter road maintenance managers. Needs have been defined for all surface transportation ; decision makers and later phases of the project will develop their decision support requirements more fully. Therefore the WIST-DSS and its OCD should be considered expandable in user scope. The STWDSR project has two primary objectives: ; • To provide requirements, at a high level, that can be allocated to lower levels, within a ; spiral evolutionary process of WIST-DSS deployment. ; • To identify requirements on external information resources for the WIST-DSS that can be ; addressed by programs within the FHWA and by inter-agency programs with the ; meteorological community and others.
