The surface transportation system is impacted significantly by weather, from public safety and maintenance costs to lost productivity and commerce. In addition, new weather-related solution and support requirements are being established as the transportation industry is experiencing rapid modernization through the development of technologies in automated vehicles, connected vehicles, decision support systems, data sharing, communication, and cloud computing. This session explores research, technologies, techniques, and solutions for identifying, forecasting, and responding to surface transportation weather events for the benefit of the traveling public, commercial interests, and those who operate and maintain the transportation system.
