From floods and icy snowstorms, severe weather preparedness is a challenging feat for municipalities across Canada. This panel of municipal and transportation leaders will walk through how they plan for, respond to, and manage traffic during snowstorms, flooding, high winds, freezing rain, and low-visibility events. Hear how they gather data, prioritize critical routes and structures, push travel information to the public, and use data and intelligent traffic systems to make faster, safer decisions.
Exploring solutions such as Variable Speed Limits, RWIS data technology, VMS message automation, and Advanced Traveler Information Systems, you’ll see how better situational awareness, cross-department coordination, and proactive communication with travelers can keep people and goods moving – even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
