Title:

Weather Based Traffic Management Applications in Nevada

Abstract:

Maintenance operations dealing with inclement weather occur at almost all levels of government across the United States. Several operational strategies and technologies have been developed to assist in the forecasting and detection of roadway conditions associated with inclement weather. RWIS technologies have become a cornerstone to several traffic management applications in northern Nevada. Detection of road and weather conditions allow for the development of detection and warning systems to alert motorists of potential driving difficulties of intermittent hazards.
