TxDOT RWIS at Strategic Locations Project

Description

The purpose of project is to install Road Weather Information System (RWIS) stations at key locations in the El Paso region to gather real–time weather conditions that could impact travel along the roadway network. An RWIS station would measure multiple types of weather information, such as air / pavement temperatures, precipitation types / amounts, surface conditions, wind velocity, and air pressure, among other types of information. Data would be reported to a central office location for processing and review by agency staff responsible for maintenance and / or traffic operations. Primary locations for these stations have been identified in ITS Master Plan along Interstate 10 between 375 and FM 3380, and between SH 20 and the Culberson County line.
