WX01: MC03-Weather Data Collection - Caltrans
Need Area Description
This service package for State DOTs collects current road and weather conditions using data collected from environmental sensors deployed on and about the roadway (or guideway in the case of transit related rail systems). In addition to fixed sensor stations at the roadside, sensing of the roadway environment can also occur from sensor systems located on Maintenance and Construction Vehicles and on–board sensors provided by auto manufacturers. The collected environmental data is used by the Weather Information Processing and Distribution Service Package to process the information and make decisions on operations.
