Iteris cloud based weather prediction
ClearPath Weather from 73 Iteris is the company’s next-generation road maintenance decision support system (MDSS).  The cloud-based software solution provides winter maintenance strategies for optimising personnel, equipment, and chemical purchases in addition to providing actionable pavement information for more effective government agency maintenance response.

The predictive software solution is based on Iteris’ proprietary algorithms and Highway Condition Analysis and Prediction System (HiCAPS) pavement weather model and leverages Iteris’ ClearPath Weather application programming interface with the power of big data and the experience of Iteris’ in-house staff of meteorologists and data scientists.

ClearPath Weather features an easy-to-use interface with state-of-the-art visualisation tools and mapping that can allow state and local agency maintenance managers to access real-time information such as looping radar, satellite imagery, weather forecasts, plough location, and route-specific weather and pavement conditions.

    Idaho leverages the increased capability and reliability of its road weather sensor network to reduce costs and prevent accidents. Weather-related accidents can form a significant chunk of an authorities’ annual road casualty statistics. While authorities cannot control the weather, the technology exists to monitor the road conditions and react with warnings to motorists and the treatment of icy or snow-covered roads. However, with all capital expenditure now placed under the microscope of public scrutiny,

    Maintenance of on-road ITS kit needs to become more sophisticated; while new technologies can deliver better road maintenance. David Crawford investigates both sides of the issue "Good information is key to effective ITS asset maintenance,” says Ian Routledge of the Ian Routledge Consultancy (IRC), whose Imtrac (Information Management for TRAffic Control) system is poised for European expansion. Developed as an ‘intelligent filing cabinet’ for storing information about on-road equipment, the online database

    US Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are using smart technology to warn civil engineers when something is wrong with the infrastructure, says the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Association (AASHTO). Sensors installed on bridges, in roadways, and on maintenance vehicles are communicating real-time performance and weather data, allowing engineers to solve problems before they occur. "Most people look at a road or a bridge and never realise the technology that today's modern tra

    Idaho’s use of key performance indicators to determine the effectiveness of its winter maintenance programme put it on the Best of ITS America shortlist. Idaho Transportation Department’s budget for winter maintenance is more than $25m – almost half of which is spent on snowplough operations. The State’s geography ranges from desert to mountains and Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has a 500+ strong winter maintenance fleet to undertake snowploughing and spreading salt, salt brine, magnesium chloride a
