Recognising that common everyday equipment can be transformed for multiple uses, a new data services company piggybacks on the miles travelled by large commercial and municipal fleets by turning the vehicles into mobile weather stations. WeatherCloud will begin a pilot programme with Colorado DOT in the autumn to use its fleet to record and collate road and weather conditions. WeatherCloud will collect the information, analyse it and provide it via API to CDOT for use in its transportation operations.
