The primary objective of the Passenger Bus Industry Weather Information Application (PBI WxApp) is to integrate mobile platform environmental observations with fixed-site (airports and road-weather stations) observations in order to create a window of meteorological information along a commercial vehicles intended travel route. The expected outcome is situational awareness for drivers, passengers, and dispatchers or other operations personnel, including those who use decision support systems. Mobile platform observations describe environmental conditions in locations not sampled by fixed-site road-weather equipment. Consequently, the PBI WxApp includes input data that is dynamic and oft times rapidly changing when the vehicles encounter storms and precipitation. This report will describe the development of the PBI WxApp and its general outcomes. The findings show that mobile platform data are reliable and provide a weather window that is more complete than any single source of data.
