Fixed road weather stations deliver reference-grade observations to assist winter maintenance decision-makers, providing latest conditions across the highway network. How do we know conditions between those weather stations? Thermal profiling is a technique to quantify the surface temperature relationship between fixed weather stations. Its application is valid through night-time hours, but it is limited to temperature only. This session will explore the benefit of including thermal profile data to road weather models that in turn provide an assessment of current surface state conditions across the highway.
