  • Episode 118: You Can't Do Good Winter Maintenance Without Road Weather Information Systems
    Nov 18 2024

    Road Weather Information Systems unlocked a whole host of opportunities when it comes to performing winter maintenance. Paul Bridge is an important player when it comes to RWIS from his early days at the Met UK through stints with RWIS vendors. His understanding of the technology and how it is used to help highway agencies do good winter maintenance is the topic of this episode from the early days of RWIS deployments in the US through AI as a force multiplier.

    You can reach out to Paul by email at pbridge@campbellsci.com to continue the discussion or learn more about the technology in its various forms.
