Title:
Weather Information for Surface Transportation (WIST I): Establishing the National Needs and Requirements
Abstract:
The "Weather Information for Surface Transportation (WIST): Delivering Improved Safety and Efficiency for Tomorrow" symposium was held in 1999. An unprecedented cross-section of more than 120 transportation and weather professionals representing federal, state, and city governments, urban and rural transportation agencies, professional and trade organizations, and weather services providers (government and commercial) attended the plenary sessions and three workshops. The goal of the symposium was to provide a forum leading to the establishment of national needs and requirements for weather information associated with the decision-making actions involving surface transportation. This document summarizes the proceedings of the WIST symposium and captures the recommendations from the breakout sessions.
