Weather and traffic
It is known that weather conditions have a large impact on traffic operations. Capacity of the road drops when it rains or snows. How large the impacts are, is not known for all conditions. Weather information is important for all kinds of issues, but is not used in traffic information. That leads us to the research question: what is the influence of weather conditions on traffic operations and what are the possibilities to improve traffic operations with weather information?
