Safe roads, without unnecessary gritting
Road Ice Support shows where and when road ice is expected and helps you determine whether gritting is necessary. With local forecasts, up-to-date road ice advice and 24/7 support from specialised meteorologists, you can make timely, well-informed decisions even when conditions change.
From ice forecast to clear gritting advice
Whether gritting is necessary depends on more than just air temperature. Road Ice Support combines local weather and road surface information with expert assessment from our road weather meteorologists. This shows you not only where and when road ice may occur, but also what action may be required.
- Local road ice advice, updated every hour
- 24/7 access to a road ice meteorologist
- Integrated with your RWIS
What can you do with Road Ice Support?
- Monitor local road ice conditions
See where and when road ice is expected in each area. The forecast is updated every hour, so changes in conditions quickly become visible.
- Support gritting decisions
Use the latest gritting advice and the assessment of our meteorologists to decide when gritting is necessary – and when it isn't.
- Record and share gritting activity
Log gritting runs and control which users have access to the information that matters for their area or responsibilities.
- 24/7 meteorological support
Day or night, you can speak directly to the duty road ice meteorologist when conditions change or additional guidance is needed.
“On one occasion, the road surface temperature was well above zero, but we could see the orange warning for possible road ice in the dashboard. It did not feel particularly cold at the time. A phone call with one of the meteorologists made us realise that the roads would indeed become slippery. Because of the clear night, the road surface temperature dropped quickly and eventually fell below zero.”

Make well-informed decisions
with Road Ice Support
Personal contact with a road ice meteorologist
Whether it’s hoar frost, wet roads freezing or wintry precipitation, we give clear guidance. When in doubt, our meteorologists are available day and night.
Integrated RWIS
Observations from your RWIS are automatically integrated into the dashboard. This gives you easy access to road surface temperature, dew point temperature, subsurface temperature and road conditions.
Prevent unnecessary gritting
To grit or not to grit? We understand the decisions winter maintenance teams face and give you the information you need to make a well-informed choice, in line with your gritting policy.
Training for winter maintenance teams
The winter maintenance season is short, and knowledge fades over the summer. Our courses, masterclasses and refresher sessions make sure your team is ready when the season begins.
