Aurora is an international partnership of public road agencies working together to perform joint road weather research. Aurora members seek to advance road weather information systems (RWIS) to more fully integrate weather data as part of transportation systems operations in terms of readiness and decision making for efficient highway maintenance, operations, and real-time traveler information. Project areas of interest include information dissemination technologies, decision support systems, weather modeling and analysis, equipment evaluations, standards and architecture, road condition monitoring and performance measures as well as other pertinent areas as identified by member agencies. In addition, Aurora is committed to supporting a more connected and automated future for surface transportation.
