Abstract
METIS is a unique single-platform and technology-independent solution for sharing and presenting road weather data. It integrates all available weather in-formation sources, e.g. road weather stations, remote sensing products, traffic cameras, weather forecasts etc., and presents the information using maps, animations, images, graphs, tables and text with emphasis on the present and future weather situation on the roads. METIS is complex yet user-friendly software that gives a comprehensive overview of the weather in real time. METIS is designed in particular for winter road maintenance professionals to provide all the information needed for correct and timely decision-making.
