Talking Technology and Transportation (T3) Webinar October 13, 2009 - Best Practices for Developing an Integrated and Effective Road Weather Information System (RWIS): Developing an RWIS Concept of Operations
Posted: 9/14/2009

Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) can assist transportation agencies in determining current and impending road conditions, especially as they relate to the approach of weather events. This information has many uses, with one of the most important being interagency use to assist in scheduling and deploying winter maintenance activities. This information also gives roadway agencies the ability to provide real-time roadway condition information to the traveling public as weather events approach, occur, or have passed through. As with any ITS deployment, the Concept of Operations (ConOps) serves as foundation document that frames the overall system and sets the technical course for the project. The RWIS ConOps allows RWIS stakeholders to reach a shared understanding of the system to be developed and how it will be operated and maintained. The ConOps also serves as the basis for the RWIS system requirements developed in the next phase of the Systems Engineering process. The Webinar speakers will share their experiences and best practices for developing a RWIS ConOps.
