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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
