ARROWS EVALUATION
In a June 2002 meeting, winter maintenance managers at the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) said that more accurate forecasts, that told not only where but when inclement weather was due, would be a valuable tool to aid them in keeping Washington State highways safe and passable during winter months. In response, the WSDOT Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Office teamed with the University of Washington Department of Atmospheric Sciences to build weather information and forecasting Web pages specifically tailored to the managers' desires and needs. The result was the development of the ARROWS Web pages, made available to all WSDOT winter maintenance managers for the 2003-2004 winter season. WSDOT subsequently conducted an in-house survey to determine what ARROWS users thought about the usefulness and presentation of information. This report presents the results of that survey, which have been used as input to the continuing development of ARROWS.
