BS EN 15518-2:2011EN 15518-2:2011 (E) 4 Introduction Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) are complex structures used for road maintena
17、nce decision support, which feature as a rule the following components: meteorological sensors and instruments, transmission technology, computer systems for processing, representation and storing of information, road weather forecasts and alarms, in relation to traffic control and traffic informati
18、on systems and more. Road weather observation and forecast are a set of road and atmospheric parameters and data used by the road maintenance services to determine future road conditions. This part of EN 15518 lays down the requirements for the recommended road weather observation and forecast infor
19、mation of a RWIS. The aim is to ensure extensive combination and interchangeability within the systems. BS EN 15518-2:2011EN 15518-2:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the frequency, resolution and content of road weather observation and forecast products for a Road Weather Informat
20、ion Systems (RWIS). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. Not ap
21、plicable. 3 Requirements on the content of road weather observation and forecast products Road weather is characterized by weather phenomena and meteorological parameters which affect the road surface conditions. A distinction has to be made between observation and forecast. The RWIS-forecasts shall
22、 provide the necessary information for maintenance agents to: make a short-term (up to 4 h) and a long-term (up to one week) planning for the disposition of personnel and means; decide on immediate interventions. It has to be considered that the geographical accuracy is indirectly proportional to th
23、e forecast period. Therefore a forecast for seven days covers a larger area than a short-term forecast for the next few hours. Road weather observation and forecasts describe conditions which would occur without winter maintenance interventions. They do not take into account the influences from traf
24、fic. The forecast provider discloses the scientific basis, the accuracy and the database of the products to the customer. The forecast products which are recommended are shown in Table 1.
