Web-based Road Monitoring

Posted by michael on from the steer-into-the-spin dept.

James Evans writes "The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are testing a Web-based system for weather forecasting and winter road treatment that could soon save lives, cut costs, and help keep millions of drivers on the move. Highway officials and road crews in Des Moines and Ames, Iowa, will test the Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) February 3 to April 4. The MDSS uses several computer models to project hour-by-hour weather and road conditions up to two days in advance, with an update every three hours."

      The Surgeon General has determined that the operation of the slashdot blog while under the influence of amphetamines is contraindictated, largely as a result of reading the parent post.
