• Abstract:
  This brochure describes three categories of standards being considered for RWIS applications: siting standards, calibration standards, and communication standards. Note that the term “standard” is used in this brochure to simplify the presentation of the material. It refers to guidelines, recommended procedures, protocols, and other practices that formalize some of the processes involved in deploying and maintaining RWIS sensors. The standards described here are still being developed and are not mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The U.S. DOT encourages agencies to use this brochure as a starting point to learn about RWIS standards and to consider how they might use these standards to reinforce their own RWIS operations.
