Summary

The Swedish road administration has for this winter season introduced an advanced road warning prediction system that has been developed in close collaboration with Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute SMHI. This system gives the user an overview of the road situation depending on the weather situation. It gives the user a better overview and understanding of trends and situations that may arise. Large spatial-temporal and multivariate data are imported and updated in real time every 15 minutes.
