An overview of the products and services offered by a full-service commercial weather support company is provided. Solutions are presented to make winter travel safer and to help reduce the billions of dollars spent annually on ice and snow control in North America. The solutions offered come from unique meteorological (pavement- and atmospheric-sensing) instrumentation, data processing units, tailored microcomputer software, a numerical forecasting model that projects pavement and weather conditions, and a specialized weather-forecasting center established to support the transportation industry. Methods to improve the interface between the provider of specialized weather equipment and unique pavement forecasts and the customer who relies on real-time pavement weather information and forecasts to reduce ice and snow control budgets are described.
