•Provide background on impact of weather on safety, mobility and environment (i.e. what is the problem?)

•Focus on safety for today

•Provide summary of efforts to date to address the impact (i.e. what have we done so far?)

•Articulate difference between weather and road weather

•Provide overview of Road Weather Management efforts pertaining to connected vehicles (i.e. what more do we need to do next?)

•Show relevancy to NHTSA decision (i.e. what does our work mean to NHTSA?)

2nd bullet - Per Sheldon’s presentation at 2012 RWM Stakeholder Meeting, 554 million vehicle-hours of delay per year result from snow, ice, and fog. TTI’s 2011 Urban Mobility Report Page 1 says Yearly delay per auto commuter is 34 hours and Congestion cost per auto commuter (2010 dollars) is $713. This equates to $20.9 per delay hour. Using this formula, 554M hours translates to $11.6B.

3rd bullet – Per Dan Krechmer’s presentation at 2012 RWM Stakeholder Meeting, Trucking delays due to weather = $3.1 billion/yr for the 50 largest cities

4th bullet – “Weather Impacts - The Economy” slide from Paul Pisano

•The Road Weather Management Program is addressing the problem through targeted and coordinated R&D

•State and Local transportation agencies are investing in implementation of road weather management technologies

•Academic and research community conducting advanced research

•Private sector offering commercial products and services

Connected vehicles provide opportunities to dramatically change the road weather world:

Provide a continuous picture of what’s happening on the roadways with respect to weather

Dramatically enhance existing road weather management systems

Create transformative new applications that leverage connected vehicle data

Bring additional capabilities to other connected vehicle safety, mobility, and environmental applications
