The objective of the evaluation of the weather forecasting services used by the Iowa Department of Transportation is to ascertain the accuracy of the forecasts given to maintenance personnel and to determine whether the forecasts are useful in the decision-making process and whether the forecasts have potential for improving the level of service. The Iowa Department of Transportation has estimated the average cost of fighting a winter storm to be about $60,000 to $70,000 per hour. This final report is to provide an evaluation report describing the collection of weather data and information associated with the weather forecasting services provided to the Iowa Department of Transportation and its maintenance activities and to determine their impact in winter maintenance decision-making.
