Abstract

Communication of current road and travel conditions may potentially reduce the number of accidents attributable to wintertime driving in rural mountain states. This research paper addresses the provision of current road and travel information to road users. There is a potential for using real-time remote weather and traffic information to assist governmental bodies in updating road and travel information. The road and travel information can be communicated to road users using a variety of devices including changeable message signs, road and travel telephone numbers, road and travel information on public radio, and linear radio.
