A six-page fact sheet describes how agencies may leverage road weather data to develop and improve performance measures for enhanced storm management and performance management dashboards. The document was developed by the Every Day Counts (EDC) Weather Responsive Management Strategies (WRMS) team.
Performance management is an important application for WRMS. It enables agencies to better guide investments and measure progress by using historic and real-time data as well as forecasted information. WRMS data management tools can use road weather data from mobile and connected vehicle technologies to enhance agencies’ existing performance measures.
The fact sheet discusses considerations for data collection; development of road weather performance indices; and data usage, application, and sharing. It provides resources for topics such as performance measures in snow and ice control operations, snow removal performance metrics, and examples of state DOT dashboards.
