Title:
Idaho's Road Weather Information System (RWIS) Integration Project
Abstract:
The Idaho Transportation Department is spearheading a project to develop a web site that provides maintenance personnel with a "one-stop" access point for weather and road condition data in Idaho and within a 100 mile boundary of neighboring states. The project anticipates using existing data sources such as the NWS forecasts, Mesowest (University of Utah integrated weather system), and RWIS data from neighboring states. This paper details Idaho's approach to RWIS integration an the Challenges encountered.
