Title:

Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) Data Integration Guidelines

Abstract:

The goal of the RWIS Data Sharing and Integration Guidelines is to provide agencies with a tool to fully utilize all of the road and weather data that is a avalible to them. This project, sponsored by the ENTERPRISE and Aurora consortium, was conducted in two phases. Phase one involved the composing of a survey for DOTs on their current RWIS practices and their thoughts on the benefits of and barriers to RWIS integration and data sharing. Phase two of this project utilized past research into RWIS practices and successfully integrated systems along with the survey results of phase one to present a discussion of the various issues involved in the deployment of a data integration project. This final report combines the two technical memoranda to present a comprehensive view of the state-to-practice for the deployment and integration of RWIS, and how an integrated system, capable of sharing information with other agencies, may be successfully established.
