OBJECTIVE STATE OF ROAD WEATHER MONITORING
TIESAASEURANNAN TAVOITETILA
The aim of the objective state of road weather data monitoring project is to define the objective state of weather and road weather data monitoring for years 2005 and 2007. The data means road weather station data and camera pictures, satellite and radar pictures, weather forecasts in different forms as well as data on road conditions and road weather forecasts. This project is a part of the Road and environment data monitoring development project. The objective state definition is a toll for the monitoring system development. Six use cases of the monitoring system defined the requirements for the objective state. As Road Administration is ordering the road maintenance it has to control the quality of the work. The most important new requirements came from this use case. The most detailed requirements came from the traditional maintenance realization use case. In addition the traffic control use case has its own requirements for those road sections with variable speed limits and information boards. The present monitoring system meets many of the future requirements. The objective state is illustrated by defining the new and enhanced parts of the system at 2005 and 2007. The objective new parts are following: enlarged and better equipped road weather station and camera network, receiving and utilisation system for road weather data form neighbouring countries, renewed storage system for road weather camera pictures, centralised data transmission system for road weather data, processing system to realize summaries and analyses as well as to produce alarms to road maintenance quality control, improved information presentation system for analyses and road maintenance quality control, system to process road weather station and camera metadata. The estimated cost of the road weather station and camera network enlargement and improvement project is 7.8 million euros. The total costs of other realization projects are 490 000 euros. The most important future development items are road weather models and forecasts and floating car road weather monitoring. The development costs fro these are together about 1.5 million euros. The project has been granted European Community financial support in the field of Trans-European Networks - Transport.
