| Abstract | Adverse weather can change a routine trip to a life-changing event. Rain, snow, ice, and the like are partly or fully responsible for more than 1.5 million highway crashes, more than 600,000 injuries, and 7,000 fatalities on U.S. roads every year. Adverse weather is also the second leading cause of nonrecurring highway congestion, accounting for about 25 percent of delays. No wonder, when surveyed, travelers on our nation’s highways clearly express the need for information on weather conditions (Figure 1). |
