Abstract:FHWA’s Road Weather Management Program developed
a Prototype Road Weather Management (RW-PM) Tool
to help DOTs maximize the effectiveness of their maintenance
resources and efficiently adjust deployments dynamically,
as road conditions and traffic flow evolve during
road weather events.
Adverse road weather conditions can significantly degrade
traffic mobility, reducing speed and road capacity, and increasing
delays and travel time. The RW-PM Tool counteracts
the negative impacts of adverse weather events by:
Enabling real-time RW-PM data capture, analysis and response
Helping to maximize efficiency/effectiveness of resources
Refining and optimizing RW-PM response measures
Integrating traffic mobility and road weather for informed
decisions by drivers, traffic management and maintenance.
