• Abstract:
  Weather has a significant impact on the operations of the nation's roadway system year round. These weather events translate into changes in traffic ; conditions, roadway safety, travel reliability, operational effectiveness and productivity. It is, therefore, an important responsibility of traffic managers and ; maintenance personnel to implement operational strategies that optimize system performance by mitigating the effects of weather on the roadways. ; Accurate, timely, route-specific weather information allows traffic and maintenance managers to better operate and maintain roads under adverse ; conditions. Connected vehicle technologies hold the promise to transform road weather management. Road weather connected vehicle applications ; will dramatically expand the amount of data that can be used to assess, forecast, and address the impacts that weather has on roads, vehicles, and ; travelers; fundamentally changingthemannerin which weather-sensitive transportationsystem management and operations are conducted. Automated ; vehicle technologies have progressed in development and research phases. Weather conditions pose a threat to the safety and mobility of automated ; vehicles, and therefore road weather information must be considered when further developing automated vehicle applications. The U.S. Department of ; Transportation's RoadWeather Management Program has developed this Concept of Operations (ConOps) to define the priorities for connected vehicle ; and automated-vehicle-enabled road weather applications.
