Providing actionable pavement information
for maintenance response
ClearPath Weather®, a component of the DTN ClearPath family of traffic and weather solutions, is a winter road information service used by DOT transportation officials across the country that provides their decision makers with an easy-to-use display for effectively managing winter weather road issues before, during, and after weather events. With a single click of the mouse, maintenance managers are able to view real-time information they need such as looping radar, satellite imagery, and site- specific weather and pavement conditions.
ClearPath Weather® is configurable to the specific agencies operations and policies. Each forecast contains the ideal maintenance action given the current and forecasted weather conditions, an intuitive graphical interface for displaying your information, and a specialized pavement forecast generated by DTN' Highway Condition Analysis and Prediction System (HiCAPS™) pavement weather forecasting model.
