The objective of the project is to develop a framework and procedures for implementing and evaluating weather-responsive traffic management (WRTM) strategies using Traffic Estimation and Prediction System (TrEPS) methodologies. In a previous FHWA funded project, a methodology was developed and tested for incorporating weather impacts in off-line TrEPS. This capability is now included in on-line TrEPS, which interacts with multiple sources of local real-time information, to provide operators with predicted traffic states under the current and future weather conditions. The main goal is to support the decision making process for addressing the disruptive effect of inclement weather on the traffic system.
