Assessing conditions

摘要

Ice prediction systems have been utilised in the UK by roads and airports for many decades now. The basic components of any ice prediction system are road weather stations, a data storage facility (with a backup) and data display software, usually web or app based. In the UK considerable use is also made of road or runway specific forecasts provided by forecast agencies. Data can also be exported from these systems into other ITS systems, VMS signs and to the public internet. The data is increasingly being moved throughout these systems via the Internet, although land line, ADSL and 3G/GPRS are also used.
