• Abstract:
  Weather Responsive Traffic Management (WRTM) is a key initiative under the FHWA’s Road Weather Management Program (RWMP). The WRTM initiative supports transportation agencies and professionals in developing better advisory, control, and treatment strategies that mitigate mobility and safety challenges due to adverse weather. It has enabled innovative and award-winning practices like citizen reporting systems, weather-responsive traveler information, and weather-responsive active traffic management. The next generation of WRTM strategies needs to take advantage of advanced connected vehicles (CV) technologies. Connected vehicle-enabled weather responsive traffic management (CV-WRTM) leverages vehicle connectivity to enhance WRTM processes and tools. Improved connectivity between transportation infrastructure and vehicles, as well as among vehicles themselves, presents unique opportunities for enhancing WRTM strategies by: enabling communication (i.e., transfer of data) across users and transportation agencies; expanding the coverage of the transportation network; and providing more information on the network.
