• Abstract:
  Through round 4 of Every Day Counts (EDC-4), the Weather-Savvy Roads effort deploys two distinct road weather management solutions—Pathfinder and Integrating Mobile Observations (IMO)—that allow State and local agencies to proactively manage the surface transportation system ahead of and during adverse weather events. IMO promotes the collection of mobile weather, road, and vehicle data from agency fleets to improve situational awareness of road conditions. As more State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) begin to consider vehicle-based data integration, it becomes increasingly important to have standardized installations, common lexicons, and normalized data formats to maximize benefits to the State and the larger community. To achieve this, State DOTs can utilize the USDOT Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office (JPO) National ITS Architecture tools. This factsheet shares high-level information on using the National ITS Architecture to support the systems engineering process necessary for IMO projects.
