VDOT ESS Weather Platform

Status: Existing

Description: This element is a ESS weather platform that obtains environmental conditions information from sensors along primary roadways. Weather conditions measured include Air Temperature, Relative Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction, Precipitation Type and Intensity, and Visibility/Air Quality. This information is available to those systems needing it. There are plans to add a Surface Transportation Weather and Road Conditions Platform element providing data to this element in the future.

Stakeholder: VDOT Central Office
