FHWA RWMP Factsheets, Flyers, and Technical Research Reports

FHWA has developed hundreds of publications, including factsheets, flyers, and research reports to advance the mission to lead and support the road weather community in the development and deployment of innovative technologies, solutions, and strategies. See below for a few examples and view all RWM publications.

Climate Resilience Risk Assessment Tool and Guide: Literature Review, Technology Scan, and Interviews Report (FHWA-HOP-23-047)
This report identifies current and emerging data collection, infrastructure surveillance, monitoring technologies, and similar approaches for monitoring changing environmental and weather conditions. In addition, the report examines using risk-based analysis tools to identify road locations potentially vulnerable to such changing conditions.

Automated Vehicles and Adverse Weather (AVAW-3) Final Report (FHWA-HOP-21-047)
​​​​​​​FHWA is exploring automated vehicle (AV) needs, opportunities, and potential shortcomings during adverse weather conditions in response to recent advancements in AV technology. The objective of this testing is to explore how adverse weather and road conditions in different driving environments affect AV dynamics and operations, driver behavior, and AV-sensing capabilities.

Integrated Modeling for Road Condition Prediction: Can IMRCP be a window into the future?
​​​​​FHWA initiated research in 2015 to develop the Integrated Modeling for Road Condition Prediction (IMRCP) system. The IMRCP tool gathers historical, real-time, and forecast data from a variety of sensor systems and models. These data and models include atmospheric and road weather, hydrology, traffic, work zones, winter maintenance operations, incidents, special events, and demand models.
