• Abstract:
  The purpose of the WeatherShare Phase I: Proof-of-Concept evaluation is threefold: to determine the success of the prototype and proof-of-concept system in meeting the goals and objectives of the project, to identify the lessons learned through the project, and to identify additional steps that may be needed to increase end user usability. This evaluation is the first of a series to be conducted throughout the life of the WeatherShare project to determine improvements needed by end users and to assess the benefits to stakeholder organizations and the region. Based upon California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) specifications, the Western Transportation Institute (WTI) at Montana State University, Bozeman, utilized technology to provide Caltrans District 2 with a surface transportation weather system (Phase I) that allows users to view a compilation of available road and surface weather data from various sources in the region.
