Overview
In order to reduce the impact of weather on transportation systems, the Federal Highway Administration's Road Weather Management Program is assisting agencies in incorporating weather information and technologies into their Transportation Management Center (TMC) operations. This document is a self-evaluation guide which helps a TMC do the following:
- identify the relevant weather events in their jurisdiction,
- determine the type and magnitude of impacts those events have on their transportation system and on TMC operations and traffic management responsibilities,
- identify current strategies for managing the impacts of weather,
- prioritize their needs for weather information application and integration,
- and identify integration strategies and solutions that are best suited to meeting the TMC’s high priority needs.
The results of the self-evaluation are used as a resource to support the preparation of a weather information integration plan for TMCs.
