Viewing current data on map

The availability of layers depends on your subscription level.
  1. In the main menu, go to Map.
  2. In the Parameters panel, activate layers to display information. These layers consist of key decision-making parameters, and define what type of observations are displayed with the different colors. Only one can be selected at a time:
    • Surface state
    • Surface temperature
    • Grip
    • Air temperature
    • Snow on surface: Amount of snow on the road or runway affected by other factors, such as melting, removal by traffic, and evaporation
  3. The Data layers include:
    • Observed data points: Cast sensors and weather stations reporting data (represented as circles on the map)
    • Road weather forecast points: Locations for which Xweather Horizon models a road weather assessment and forecast (represented as squares on the map)
    • Connected car data: Data collected from sensors on connected consumer vehicles
    • Road network: Network specific to your organization
    • Mobile observation: Mobile observations made with sensors that have been designed specifically to measure winter condition
  4. The Weather layers include:
    • Radar: Precipitation movement and intensity
    • Snow depth: Total snow on the ground
    • Wind: Wind direction and speed
    • Cloud cover: Satellite data of cloud cover
    • Feels like temperature: Temperature perceived by humans taking heat index into account
    • National hazards: National weather warnings
    Observed data points only display observations from the sensors. For example, if the Surface state status layer is selected and a sensor does not have this parameter, the observed data point will show as gray on the map and say No data.
