Collecting road weather data is vital to those responsible for making operational decisions about the roadways. Traditionally, fixed weather stations along the side of the road gathered this information and allowed decision makers to see remote locations, or just know more quantitative information about a specific spot. Fixed sites will always remain a critical piece of information because they are there collecting very accurate data 24/7.
However, with the advent of high speed wireless communication and readily available power in a vehicle, suddenly vehicles become moving weather stations.
