Abstract

Article describing research conducted on weather forecasting technology and its relation to snow and ice control costs. Field testing was done in seven states: Massachusetts, New Jersey, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, and Washington. The benefit-cost model developed for this project shows that through the use of road weather information technologies, the cost of snow and ice control can be reduced significantly. The greatest single savings is possible through the use of detailed weather and road condition forecast support.
