Overview
With funding and support from the USDOT RITA and direction from the FHWA Road Weather Management Program, NCAR is developing a Vehicle Data Translator (VDT)
software system that incorporates vehicle-based measurements of the road and surrounding atmosphere with other weather data sources.
The purpose of this document is to provide a short overview of the VDT software, a description of several possible applications for key potential end users of the VDT, and a description of the data standards that are required in order for the mobile weather data to be useful for various road weather impact applications.
