RWIS Placement
CHALLENGE
A growing municipality was looking to improve its winter operations by adding additional road weather stations. Decision-makers wanted to ensure placement of the road weather technology would maximize their investment and provide accurate, reliable, and representative data for their community.
​
SOLUTION
A customized weather data assessment was conducted, evaluating climate, terrain, operations, and community needs. Strategic recommendations included optimal placement of fixed RWIS stations based on elevation, geography, and coverage gaps, along with integration of mobile sensing technology to expand real-time visibility. The plan balanced accuracy, cost, and operational efficiency while avoiding common pitfalls like over-focusing on isolated trouble spots.
​
RESULT
The municipality gained a clear, data-driven roadmap for improving situational awareness and winter response. With better coverage and more reliable insights, staff can make faster, more confident decisions, reducing risk, optimizing resource use, and improving safety for the traveling public.

Weather Training
CHALLENGE
The customer purchased a decision support system worth over 4 million dollars and wanted to make sure it was used and accepted by the staff.
​
SOLUTION
Developed a custom training curriculum, which consisted of detailed student and instructor guides, and delivered live 2-day training sessions at 8 locations across the region after commissioning of the system. Then, after the first season of use, a weather scenario training was developed using 10 unique events. The training was conducted live at 5 locations in 1-day sessions.
​
RESULT
The customer became the leader among their peers in their use of the technology, led the way in partnering with others to further the industry, and quickly adopted the technology.
