Abstract

This paper discusses the development of two winter severity indicator models that will be used to evaluate the relative harshness of a winter in comparison with a base period, by using meteorological data through the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) alone, and MSC data together with Road Weather Information System (RWIS) data. A winter severity index is a measure of the relative impact of winter weather on winter road maintenance (WRM) operations using historical meteorological or RWIS data. Limitations of the models and recommendations for further research are presented in the paper. For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD number E211521.
