ASF worked closely with Météo France in order to create a weather forecasting system that would help ASF be prepared ahead of time for all kinds of winter weather and would also provide motorists with up-to-date weather and road condition information. After implementing the project in 2002, ASF has successfully handled two serious weather crises. The ASF system has provided improved quality weather information, which has made it possible for ASF staff to prepare appropriately for any weather crisis and to lower operational costs.
