The aim of this paper is to present road weather information system and map sources which can be used by winter maintenance system operator to clarify his perception of road meteorological situation in order to be able to take well-founded decision while managing maintenance activities. Presently the so-called status map showing current warnings from road weather stations is the principal map in winter maintenance. In its new version displaying the map of any feature measured by outstations as well as layer handling and zooming will be available. Map outputs of the model forecasting the road condition and temperature are described in the last chapter.

The article presents the results of road tests related to repeatability evaluation of the mobile road weather sensor readings. This kind of sensors is increasingly used by road administrators to assess current state of roads. They can be also used to identify road sections where local changes in friction occur most often. The carried out tests concern the repeatability of readings for different lighting conditions (day and night) and vehicle speed. The research was performed using the Lufft MARWIS sensor on roads with different traffic intensity and different standards of winter maintenance.
