Title:

Evaluation of the Idaho Transportation Department Integrated Road-Weather Information System: Final Evaluation Report

Abstract:

This report presents the results of the FHWA evaluation of the Idaho Transportation Department's (ITD) integration of their Road-Weather Information System (RWIS). The RWIS Integration project established a single RWIS user interface and data format, integrated data from existing brands of ESS and weather information from other sources (such as the National Weather Service) and capable of incorporating data from additional ESS; established a new public RWIS webpage as part of the existing ITD Road Report traveler information website; and integrated, via a weather data sharing consortium, data from a large number of ESS operated by other organizations within Idaho and in bordering states.
