Title: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND FOR USE OF A ROAD WEATHER INFORMATION SYSTEM
Accession Number: 00745788
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Background factors must be considered in the adaptation of a road weather information system for a maintenance area. These factors may be climatological, meteorological, or related to the structure of the road infrastructure. The methodology used in Sweden involves analyses of thermal mapping along the actual road stretches, climatological statistics such as precipitation patterns and average temperature, and so forth. Other important components are the variation in topography and vegetation. These factors are integrated into a decision procedure for which the output is a proper location based on climatology of the field stations within the system.
