Abstract:Through round 4 of Every Day Counts (EDC-4), the Weather-Savvy Roads effort deploys two distinct road weather management solutions that allow State and local agencies to be proactive in managing the surface transportation system ahead of and during adverse weather events: Pathfinder and Integrating Mobile Observations. This case study focuses on the implementation of Pathfinder by the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) to help coordinate responses during a total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. Pathfinder is a collaborative effort between the National Weather Service (NWS), State departments of transportation (DOTs), and State DOT support contractors who provide road weather information to share and translate weather forecasts into consistent transportation impact statements for the public. Pathfinder can play an important role on any major planned special event that could be impacted by changes in weather.
