Road/Weather Information System Architecture for Integration and Expansion
Taek Mu Kwon, E J Fleege · Transportation Research Record Journal of the Transportation Research Board · 2000
Because of rapidly changing technologies and associated increasing costs, implementation of a Road/Weather Information System must be carefully planned. Planners know the importance of starting with an architecture that allows easy integration of new and legacy technologies and easy expansion to a larger system. A layered, hierarchical architecture is proposed to meet that objective. A prototype of this model was implemented in the Minnesota Department of Transportation District 1. This system is described in brief.
