Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: Road Weather Information System (RWIS) designed for collecting and monitoring weather and road conditions has been proven effective to support winter road maintenance for improving safety, mobility and efficiency. Traditional practices on choosing RWIS sites heavily rely on maintenance and operation personnel. This study develops a model to optimize site locations subject to three selection criteria (i.e., weather, traffic condition, and distance to existing RWIS sites). Geographic information system (GIS) is used to store and manage database, as well as display the optimization results. The model is applied in a case study, which can be expanded by taking practical constraints to satisfy specific requirements from various agencies.
