TxDOT High Wind Warning System Project

Description

This project will deploy systems that detect high wind speeds at locations where high winds have been a factor in traffic incidents. Upon detection, warnings could be provided to drivers to slow their vehicle speeds, as well as to TMC operators that can post messages about high wind speeds detected along the roadway network.
