Technology company Baron Weather says its solution can help 324 US Department of Transportation (DoT) services monitor current and forecasted weather conditions. Called Baron Threat Net, the platform also features patented road weather and pavement conditions forecasts.


The device comes with a network operations display, mobile app and custom location alerting. In addition, it is intended to integrate a state’s road weather sensor (RWIS) data into a single display.

An unnamed US state DoT integrated Threat Net, the solution’s mobile app and Baron custom forecasts for 41 district offices across five regions.

Additionally, Baron's forecasting tools allowed the DoT to monitor and plan ahead for conditions such as winter weather, tropical storms and flash flooding.
