How are Weather Sensors Integrated with other Weather-Related ITS Technologies?
Weather detection systems that can forecast weather and disseminate traveler information: Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) are an example of an ITS technology that monitor and detect pavement temperatures in order to predict whether precipitation will freeze on the pavement. These predictions are then used to inform drivers and traffic agencies of road weather conditions so that they can take the necessary safety precautions. Weather detection systems that forecast weather, disseminate traveler information, and maintain roads affected by weather: Most anti-ice technologies are integrated with RWIS. Combined, they create a system that can maintain roads in adverse weather conditions while forecasting weather and informing travelers of road conditions. Weather detection systems that forecast weather, disseminate traveler information, and control traffic in adverse road-weather conditions: The Tennessee Fog Detection and Warning System integrates fog sensors, speed detectors, HAR,
