Climate has a wide range of effects on the roads and highways. Rain, snow, ice, fog, freezing rain, and other condition of weather can affect the driver's ability to drive their vehicles safely. It considerably decreases the capacity of roads as well as dramatically enhances the traveling time. Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Finland delivers up-to-date real-time forecast data, road friction information, maintain roads as well as traffic management. In this article, we have discussed the developed advance ITS-assisted road-weather and traffic service architecture: we have established those ITS services for road weather to forecast accurate road-weather service parameters i.e. road condition (friction information), weather condition, traffic situation and road surface temperature etc. The condition of the road categorizes the surface of road into distinct classes: damp, dry, frost, snow, wet etc. Another index for road traffic is the classification of road-forecast which identifies whether the condition of driving is good, satisfactory, bad or very bad. The road traffic index is a mixture of the road-weather data and road condition. This state-of-the-art road weather service infrastructure and model aims to improve the road safety particularly in winter situation. The ITS infrastructure and road-weather services are tested and analyzed during pragmatically reproducible and reconfigurable field tests and analysis on our test track in Sodankvla, Finland.
