It provides traffic engineers, transportation modelers and decisions makers with a guide that can incorporate weather impacts into transportation system analysis and modeling. The module describes how users can implement weather analysis using mesoscopic or microscopic traffic simulation modeling tools. It also includes weather and traffic data sources and discusses various weather responsive traffic operations and management strategies
