TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS
Traffic – safe and efficient with MetGIS
Weather data is critical to the transportation and logistics industry. It affects operations, traffic control, route planning, and helps adapt to climate change. From avoiding weather-related disruptions to supporting intelligent transportation and IoT applications, accurate weather forecasts provide a significant advantage. Discover how MetGIS can help you increase efficiency and reduce risk.
LOGISTICS
CLEAR VIEW AND FREE RIDE
Weather has a significant impact on the transportation and logistics industry because it can affect operations. Weather-related interruptions and disruptions to infrastructure (road, rail, airports and seaports) lead to delays, breakdowns, accidents and sometimes loss of goods. The result is higher costs and more planning. In the worst-case scenario, deliveries and emergency vehicles may be lost or lives put at risk. Accurate weather data and forecasts are therefore a key competitive advantage to ensure efficient and orderly operations.
Adaptation to climate change
More frequent extreme weather events caused by climate change will have a major impact on the transportation and logistics sector. To reduce the risk to employees, machinery and goods, it is important to be prepared. The resulting technological shift towards green technologies is an additional challenge. Again, the weather factor should be taken into account to enable more efficient operations and make a valuable contribution to the green transition.
TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTERS
FOR SAFE DEPLOYMENT PLANNING
Effectively regulating traffic depends on numerous data points and variables, including meteorological data. The primary objective is to ensure traffic safety, which necessitates the availability of adequate information in a timely manner. This allows for the effective management of traffic volume to avert potential hazards. Even minor traffic congestion can lead to substantial problems and risks.
Weather data in road management
Weather data is crucial for winter and summer service, as it allows for the targeted use of gritting material, reducing fine dust pollution and the excessive use of salt on roads. The concentration of the salt solution must be adjusted according to the temperature. Storms, snow loads, ice formation due to freezing rain, hail and heavy rain leading to mudslides can significantly impact road safety. Efficient deployment planning is essential for managing economic resources, including minimizing the number of gritting vehicle trips and optimizing personnel scheduling, such as on-call times during weekends. Precise weather data facilitates cost reduction and enhances road safety.
SMART TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY (IOT)
INCREASED SAFETY THROUGH INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS
Weather data is a critical component of intelligent transportation systems. It facilitates the optimization of traffic flows, enhances vehicle safety, and assists in route planning. Adaptive traffic light control systems, driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles utilize weather information to ensure safe and efficient traffic management. Furthermore, weather data plays a crucial role in maintenance planning, snow clearance, and emergency management, contributing to the development of a more sustainable and secure traffic infrastructure.
Weather-dependent route planning
Weather conditions play a crucial role in route planning and our system can issue alerts in advance to warn users about potential hazards such as heavy snow or strong winds. This allows users to plan alternative routes and avoid potentially dangerous passages, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey.
Smart traffic and traffic flow optimization
Powerful AI models present a variety of opportunities to enhance traffic management and promote public safety. The role of weather conditions in affecting particulate pollution and air quality in urban areas is particularly significant, given its impact on human health.
IoT and vehicle technology
Prevailing weather conditions have a significant impact on the efficiency of electric vehicle routes. Meteorological data plays a crucial role in supporting autonomous vehicles and assistance systems by providing vital information about road conditions. This enables vehicles to adapt their driving style or display warning messages in a timely manner, ensuring safety and optimal performance under diverse conditions. In this area, the potential for innovation by developers is limitless. MetGIS is well-equipped to provide weather expertise and data to support your innovation project.
