The Wisconsin Road Weather Information System (RWIS) is a system that collects road and weather condition information for the benefit of maintenance crews and traffic operations managers throughout the State. The system is capable of collecting wind speed, air temperature, pavement temperature, ground temperature, precipitation, and chemical content on the pavement. County road maintenance crews monitor weather and road conditions information and use this data to help maintain the road more efficiently and economically by reducing materials and servicing the road in a timely manner. Traffic operations managers use the data to aid in decision-making to ensure the smooth flow of traffic throughout the State. WisDOT RWIS consists of 75 OTT Hydromet sites with LCOM RPUs. Polling all is performed by DTN via cell modems owned by WisDOT. The Wisconsin RWIS is used by State, County, and Municipal personnel to monitor weather and pavement conditions. Data is gathered continuously at each RPU location. Data is downloaded via wireless modems owned by WisDOT. These downloads occur at predetermined intervals when the server polls its RPUs. Currently, this interval is 10 minutes during; however, this is subject to change In Wisconsin, the State maintains a unique relationship with the county highway departments. Under this arrangement, the 72 county highway departments (counties) are responsible for performing all maintenance activities on the State highway system. The counties perform all winter maintenance activities on the system. Unlike many agencies, there is no wide area network connecting the road maintainers with higher levels within the organization. The counties are essentially 72 independent suppliers performing maintenance activities. The RWIS must be designed with the county highway departments in mind.
