Abstract
Keeping close track of weather-related road conditions is crucial for driver safety and convenience. Existing road weather information systems collect data from various sources to help transportation agencies decide how, when, and where to deploy road maintenance resources and issue travel advisories. Gaps in data coverage persist, however, as no weather-related data source is ubiquitous. Drivers may not be aware of road conditions where they plan to travel. As the lead state of the Aurora program, Iowa DOT is working with other stakeholders to determine road weather tracking needs that could benefit from connected vehicle (CV) communications.
