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.

    The in-house winter maintenance and vehicle tracking system built by the Public Works Department in Hartford, Connecticut, coped with record snowfalls and cut costs too. When it comes to dealing with the effects of mother nature, transport agencies can find themselves in a lose-lose situation: criticised if the roads or rail lines are disrupted by snow, ice or floods for more than a few hours and lambasted for wasting money if the equipment and stockpiles put in place for a hard winter remain unused.

    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

    Traffic management centres (TMC) have traditionally served to provide surveillance and responses to traffic incidents and recurring and non-recurring changes in road networks. Typically, a TMC collected field data from the roadway and transit infrastructure and provided the integration necessary for operators to see what was happening and then coordinate a response. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) guided operators on how to respond to a given situation. It eventually became impractical for TMC operat
