Upgrading the weather monitoring system was a big part of the overall project. It consisted of installing thirty-one automatic weather stations on the Krasnodar region road and highway network, and updating the operations center with more current hardware and software created specifically for this task. 

Integrating the Minimax Weather system has allowed the customer to:

• promptly receive accurate information about the weather conditions on the roads;
• monitor and control the entire set of operational use parameters affecting each specific roadway;
• rapidly notify maintenance crews and managers responsible for specific sections of the network about adverse weather conditions;
• rapidly generate recommendations for road repair;
• monitor the winter maintenance of the road network;
  
• effectively communicate roadwork recommendations to maintenance contractors and evaluate their progress.
