Wireless Mesh Networks> Enables computers to communicate to each otherwithout going through central servers or networks.– MIT and other researchers are developing and testingprototype "mesh networks"– Would enable cars to act as roving weather stations,gathering both meteorological and road conditions,and sharing data and related information withneighboring cars through mesh networks. Samplemessages:• Slippery road ahead, slow down NOW!• Dense fog ahead with stopped vehicles in road, use extremecaution!6
Required Resources for a TWI System> Direct access to:– Surface Weather Station Observations– Weather Radar Data– Satellite– Lightning Detection and Reporting System– National and Regional Forecast and NowcastProducts (e.g., Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) II, NAMMM5, UKMET, ECMWF, etc.)– Real-time traffic information– Roadway attributes – physical and environmental– Human factors – localized> Cross-Jurisdictional Cooperation and Participation> Financial Commitment7
