Abstract
Weather service systems that collect, refine and distribute information to road users as well as network and maintenance operators can generate significant benefits to the stakeholders and the society. For maintenance operators improved efficiency through timely reactions, smaller amounts of de-icing materials and better personnel utilization offer clear potential for reduced costs. In the future, better weather models will result in more accurate longer-term forecasts thus increasing the potential for benefits. New technology enables new kinds of services (e.g.decision support systems). This paper provides a structured view of the benefits of weather
information services to different stakeholders. A framework on the impacts of weather information on winter road management will be presented.
