Title:

Winter Road Condition Reporting for the Public

Abstract:

This report includes a description of the national 511 traveler information number and an overview of several states' approaches to reaching the public with weather-related road conditions, primarily through the Internet. Washington state's programs appear to represent the state-of-the-art in automated information acquisition and Internet sophistication. Minnesota uses statewide DOT maintenance staff to enter road information into a system twice daily. Arizona's system provides real-time road condition information about both state highways and local routes. Finally, a few software companies are identified that are working with state DOTs on products for communicating road condition information to the public.
