Testing and Evaluation of Preliminary Design Guidelines for Disseminating Road Weather Advisory and Control Information
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-11-0203
Project Abstract:
This project builds upon the earlier 'Human Factors Analysis of Road Weather Advisory and Control Information' project that was initiated to assist transportation officials in communicating both pre-trip and en route road weather information effectively, consistently, and timely to meet the needs of travelers for different weather conditions and travel scenarios. This earlier project resulted in preliminary guidelines.
For the current effort, these preliminary guidelines were disseminated to a broad group of transportation and road weather officials for review and use. These reviewers included staff from private agencies and State Department of Transportation (DOT) staff working at traffic management centers (TMCs). Evaluation of the guidelines followed through end user surveys, on-site interviews and discussions, and application of the preliminary guidelines to assess their suitability and effectiveness for traffic operations. Valuable feedback provided by these end users was used to modify the preliminary guidelines and develop the revised guidelines. The revised guidelines are available as Report No. FHWA-JPO-12-046.
