Abstract
The Road Weather Information Systems used nowadays are a vast network infrastructure which covers local weather stations, regional and national management centres. Despite that, its response time still takes up from 5 to 10 minutes. During that time vehicles are vulnerable to rapidly changing weather conditions. Integrating VANETs into this structure could significantly improve a system’s effectiveness. The paper describes the possible solutions and compares the network issues connected with the system integration. The security issue and traffic influence were also taken under consideration.
