Predicting traffic safety based on weather events

天气信息处理公司是一家通过使用安装在北美各地行驶的道路车辆上的移动传感器，以小时间间隔收集天气数据的公司。这一操作导致创建了一个庞大的数据库。该项目的目的是调查将收集的数据转换为有关交通道路状况的信息的可能性。天气远程信息处理公司收集的信息是对美国各州维护的道路天气信息系统(RWIS)的补充。预计这些额外的信息，如果与RWIS信息适当地结合起来，将允许对特定位置的交通道路状况进行更精细和更准确的评估。从这项研究中得出的产品的实用性和好处使这个项目特别令人兴奋：公共汽车或快递服务公司可以向其公共汽车或卡车司机传输实时道路安全信息，使他们能够 在陷入次优甚至危险的驾驶条件之前，修改他们的路线。

Weather Telematics is a company that collects weather data at small time intervals through the use of mobile sensors placed on road vehicles travelling throughout North America. This operation resulted in the creation of a massive database. The purpose of this project is to investigate the possibility to convert the collected data into information regarding traffic road conditions. The information collected by Weather Telematics complements the Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) Systems maintained by each State in the US. It is expected that this extra information, if combined properly with RWIS information, will allow for a finer grain and more accurate assessment of traffic road conditions at specific locations. The practicality and benefit of the products that can be derived from this research makes this project particularly exciting: bus or delivery service companies could transmit real-time road safety information to their bus or truck drivers, allowing them to modify their route prior to being caught in suboptimal or even dangerous driving conditions.
