Why winter weather could demand less salt for gritting roads in future
NAVTEQ road mapping from MapMechanics supports Met Office's route-based forecasting
Vector-based NAVTEQ road mapping from MapMechanics is being used by the Met Office in trials of route-based weather forecasting, with the aim of adding precision to forecasts based on existing systems such as radar-based imaging
The Met Office's route-based weather forecasting trials use NAVTEQ street-level mapping from MapMechanics to determine those stretches of road most prone to icing, helping the authorities to target their gritting resources more accurately.
