Goals
When Aurora was formed, the following goals were established:
- to improve dissemination of road weather information to transportation providers and end users, ultimately reducing potential weather-related incidents and delays in both urban and rural areas.
- to improve the efficiency of maintenance operations
- to aid in the development of RWIS programs that seamlessly integrate maintenance operations and dissemination of road weather information
- to develop initiatives that assist public agencies in deploying RWIS technologies
- to encourage greater cooperation and information exchange between transportation agencies and the meteorological community
- to support the development of alternative uses of RWIS
