MDSS - System
• Full system redundancy in two locations
• High availability (99.8%)• 700 RWIS,
– Viasala, Luft, Micks, Boschung
– 150 users,
• 1,600 miles of highway

MDSS – User interface
• History graph :– Measured data– Precipitation– Alarms– Status
• Forecast accuracy– Comparision forecast /
measurement
Other displays

MDSS – User interface
• Country summary
• Still pictures
• Satellite / radar pictures
Other displays

MDSS - Code format
• XXYYzZ• XX Change on the road surface
• YY Weather, Precipitation
• z Wind
• Z Temperature characteristics
MDSS - Stakeholder Meeting, Falls Church, VA, 11th August 2006 11/19
Example MDSS-Code 066623
• Compact high fog, locally icing drizzle = black ice
MDSS-Code = 06662306 freezing rain66 freezing rain2 wind: 30-60kmh3 Temp. +/- 0°C.

MDSS - Codes
•MDSS - Codes are generated every hour for 3h, every 6h for 32h and every 12h for 72 hours
•MDSS - Codes are generated for approximately 220 sections of road (1’600 miles of highway)
•MDSS - Codes communication between road manager and the weather prognosticator are very efficient.

Actual Treatment
• No calibration is possible without the actual treatment.
• No treatment recommendation is possible without the actual treatment. Same result as MDSS-Colorado (Winter 2004 - 2005).
= Spreader - Data is necessaryMDSS - Stakeholder Meeting, Falls Church, VA, 11th August 2006 15/19
Calibration with Mathematician
• Mathematician expertise helps calibrate the MDSS - System.– This expertise provides that the MDSS -
System works with a proven maximum effectiveness.
– This effectiveness must be accepted from the owner of the road network (e.g. 92%). The owner knows now under which conditions the MDSS - System can’t be used (e.g. radar-shadow).
