Title:

Weather: A Research Agenda for Surface Transportation Operations

Abstract:

Weather crosscuts almost every goal, use, and operation of highways, and yet, meteorology, from a transportation perspective, is focused mostly on the flight operations. To make weather issues an important part of highway programs, people who manage highway ops must seek new techniques and ITS that complement the amazing system of weather-information collection, analysis, and forecasting that exists in the US.
