Title:
Prototype Weather Response System (WRS) for Transportation Operations (Flyer)
Abstract:
This flyer describes development of a prototype system to support weather-responsive transportation operations. Development of the prototype Weather Response System (WRS) was sponsored by the FHWA) and the Missouri DOT. The WRS obtains and presents weather information from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) via a web-based application. MoDOT staff in Kansas City tested and evaluated the system for three months and found it to be useful in scheduling their activities and managing traffic operations before and during adverse weather. The flyer describes features and evaluation of the WRS.
