The paper describes the construction and operation of the "Road Weather Information System" targeting the Greater Sapporo in Hokkaido, Japan. Sapporo is known as the city that undergoes severe cold and heavy snowfall. The system developed makes it possible to connect the road management organizations and weather information organizations using internet technology and information sharing wherein each party can reference each other's information. The paper provides further insights into the WRMMSS which creates and provides direct information about road management on the basis of road management information, road telemeter information, and weather information in order to increase the efficiency and level of road management in winter.
