  • Abstract:
    Through round 4 of Every Day Counts (EDC-4), the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Weather-Savvy Roads effort promotes two distinct road weather management solutions that allow State and local agencies to proactively manage the surface transportation system ahead of and during adverse weather events: Pathfinder and IMO. IMO builds on vehicle-based technologies like automatic vehicle location and real-time communication that most states have already implemented in government fleet vehicles. Additional ancillary sensors collect weather and road condition data (such as air pressure, air and surface temperature, spreader rate and materials, windshield wiper status and rate, and relative humidity) and, when available, vehicle systems are accessed to collect and disseminate resident data. The data provides maintenance managers with a detailed view of the weather and road conditions, as well as asset locations along the highway network. This information can support a variety of applications for road weather management maintenance and operations decision-making, including road weather forecasts, end of shift reporting, material management, traveler information, performance management, road weather conditions, and maintenance decision support.
