Title:
Weather in the Infostructure
Abstract:
This paper addresses the Weather Response component of the Infostructure. It's primary purpose is to discuss the fundamental data needs of the weather infostructure component, and to estimate an aggregate cost for national deployment of road weather data collection systems. It does this by first documenting a methodology for determining the number of Road Weather Information System (RWIS) sensors (or ESS) needed across the country to support basic road weather needs, and then documenting a methodology for determining the cost.
