RELATIONSHIP OF WINTER ROAD WEATHER MONITORING TO WINTER

Overview

This paper compares winter driving crash statistics on road segments prior to the 43 deployment of RWIS sites to crash statistics after winter road condition data became available 44 through RWIS deployment and then calculates a benefit/cost metric. For the study period (2010-2013) the benefit/cost is 22, which concludes that strategically deployed RWIS sites and proper 46 utilization of the data easily justifies the investment in infrastructure and operations.
