Integrating Road Weather Technology Data in Highway Operations

A key element of traffic operations is the knowledge of current and predicted surface weather conditions on the road surface. Weather can quickly and dramatically impact safety and mobility on roads. Maryland's Office of Transportation Mobility and Operations has access to many radar products, how to consolidate and manage and best leverage all of these different weather measurements and untapped weather data sources more effectively is the objective of this project.
