Solutions for Departments of Transportation
Strata AI helps transportation agencies convert weather signals into corridor-level action plans for winter ops, severe weather response, and public safety.
The Strata AI Platform helps departments of transportation teams make faster operational decisions with forecast views, live radar and observations, operational alerts, and Meteorologist support.
Treat western bridges first and hold eastern district crews.
Deploy pretreat on exposed bridges west of the metro by 4:30 PM, stage overnight incident patrols along the ridge corridor, and wait on the eastern district until the cold surge arrives after midnight.
Thermal and precipitation timing differs sharply across the district, so a uniform deployment would overspend material on one side while under-covering the first icing corridor.
What supports departments of transportation teams inside Strata.
Forecasts, radar, alerts, and Meteorologist support work together in the same portal.
Alerts tied to an action
Threshold-based alerting keeps dots teams focused on what needs to move now, not every incoming signal.
Industry-specific forecast views
Forecast views turn incoming conditions into roadway operations timing for dots teams, not just generic conditions.
Radar and observations in one view
Live radar, storm reports, lightning, and observations help dots leaders verify what is happening before changing the plan.
Meteorologists available 24/7 for critical calls
WDS stays involved before and during the call, with Meteorologists available 24/7 when roadway operations decisions turn critical for cost, service, timing, or safety.
