| Abstract | The Integrated Modeling for Road Condition Prediction (IMRCP) is a prototype system and demonstration deployment that provides a framework for the integration of road condition monitoring and forecast data to support decisions by travelers, transportation operators, and maintenance providers. The system collects and integrates environmental and transportation operations data, collects forecast weather data, initiates road weather and traffic forecasts, generates advisories and warnings, and provides the results to other applications and systems. The model could ultimately become a practical tool for transportation agencies to support traveler advisories, maintenance plans, and operational decisions at both strategic and tactical levels. The purpose of the evaluation is to explore IMRCP operational impacts and usefulness at its deployment site of Kansas City Scout (KC Scout). The evaluation examined whether the speeds and speed forecasts were accurate and whether the traffic and weather information was useful to KC Scout operators. The findings could inform others who may be considering similar deployments and provide the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) with information to help determine next steps for IMRCP. |
