Abstract:The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Road Weather Management program partnered with the National Weather Service (NWS) to sponsor five research projects through the Cooperative Program for Operational Meterology, Education, and Training (COMET). The goal was to create teams of personel from State departments of transportation (DOT), NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFO), and universities to foster collaborative and productive relationships between meterological and transportation agencies. These teams were to use data from Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) to improve the utilization of these data in both weather and transportation operations and to create new predictive algorithms for use in road maintenance activities. Such advances in road weather management ultimately will improve mobility on the roads, and DOT productively in operations.
