THE USE OF ADVANCED ROAD WEATHER INFORMATION SYSTEM IN REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

An overview of the Road Weather Information System (RWIS-HC) in Croatia is presented in the paper. The basic features of the system architecture, components configuration, application software, as well as some machine- human interface solutions are described. Road weather monitoring is the basis for successful road traffic with respects to the weather condition that significantly affect to the safety, functionality and efficiency of road traffic. To support the work, better use of winter service resources, and to increase traffic safety in winter conditions, The network of road weather stations to measure the local weather conditions on the main road routes are installed. This project develops a flexible RWIS model that can seamlessly integrate with the existing systems and can gradually expand to a larger system. The project also focuses on new ways of utilizing the massive amount of weather sensor data collected from RWIS-HC. Traditional ways of using Road Weather Information Systems have been to forecast road icing before its formation for proactive winter-road maintenance. The algorithm of applying artificial neural networks for short-term forecast of surface temperature road is presented in the paper.
