Best Practices for Road Weather Management Version 2.0
Title:
Arizona Road Weather Information System (RWIS) Communications Plan
Abstract:
There have been two implementations of Roadway Weather Information Systems in Arizona, known as RWIS Phase 0 and Phase 1. Each Phase has met with limited success and has on-going issues that need to be addressed before new RWIS sites are implemented. This report provides a Communications Plan for Phase 2 and addresses the basic communications problems previously encountered. These include a lack of reliable communications links in rural locations, interoperability of the RWIS sites and communications infrastructure, and publication of the RWIS data to all interested ADOT personnel. NTCIP standards, newer commercially available communication equipment, and Internet-based publication methods will be used to successfully meet these challenges.
