FULLY INTEGRATED WEATHER-WARNING SYSTEMS

The evolution of freeway-management systems (FMS) has demonstrated that the quality of information disseminated to the traveler can be significantly improved through integration of a broad range of sensors, increases in system computer processor power, and inclusion of an improved mix of traveler information devices. Farradyne Systems, Inc. (FSI), Rockville, Maryland has designed, developed, and deployed several such systems, and by means of a description of three of them, the author demonstrates the nature and magnitude of this evolution as well as some indications of potential future enhancements.
