Title:

Review of the Institutional Issues Relating to Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS): Final Report

Abstract:

This project, funded by the Aurora Program, aimed to identify and document institutional issues relating to the implementation and development of Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS). The project comprised two main phases. The first phase involved performing a review of existing documentation of RWIS institutional issues, and summarizing these findings. The intent of the project was to explore the coordination and standardization issues of RWIS taking place within and between agencies, for example, rather than the technical aspects of RWIS. Using the literature review findings as background information, the second phase involved gathering information on the status of RWIS developments in a variety of agencies with responsibilities for RWIS, and also documenting first-hand experiences in implementing and deploying RWIS.
