The three-year contract, which is renewable for an additional
two years, will give the NJTA access to high-resolution pavement
weather forecasting and treatment alternatives, and maintenance
decision support system (MDSS) services, throughout both the New
Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway during winter weather
events. In addition, Iteris will provide the NJTA with 24/7 access
to ClearPath Weather’s severe weather advisories and alerting
services, as well as direct access to Iteris meteorologists
forecasting from the firm’s Weather Operations Center in Grand
Forks, North Dakota.
“Our ultimate goal is to keep road users safe and to achieve
this we need the most accurate current and forecast weather and
pavement information possible,” said Michael Mahon, superintendent
of snow operations at the NJTA. “By using ClearPath Weather as part
of our MDSS operations, we can better address weather impacts
across these two roadways, which are critical roads for both New
Jersey and the entire north east.”
“We are proud to support the NJTA’s goal of improving the safety
and mobility of New Jersey’s road users by providing access to
hyperlocal current and forecast weather data,” said Jim Chambers,
senior vice president and general manager, Agriculture and Weather
Analytics at Iteris. “With the winter months approaching, data
insights from ClearPath Weather will allow the authority to make
the best maintenance decisions possible, both on a day-to-day basis
and after extreme weather or storm events.”
ClearPath Weather is based on Iteris’ Highway Condition Analysis
and Prediction System (HiCAPS™) pavement condition model and
leverages proprietary application programming interfaces (APIs) to
access weather data. The cloud-based MDSS solution features an
easy-to-use interface, and advanced visualization tools and
mapping, which give state and local agency maintenance managers
access to real-time information, such as looping radar, satellite
imagery, weather forecasts, plow location, and route-specific
weather and pavement conditions.
