OpenRoad training

We run training courses and symposia so that you can get the most out of the OpenRoad service.

OpenRunway

A service that gives airports advance warning of the need for runway clearance and de-icing in the event of snow and ice.

Bad weather can have a serious impact on the operations of transport systems. Our services are designed to help you to plan for, manage and minimise the effects of the weather, so you can provide a smooth-running service to users.

Helping you plan

Ensure that the roads, runways and bridges that you're responsible for will flow freely, even when ice and snow threaten to wreak havoc.

The information that we provide enables road transport and infrastructure decision makers to do their jobs more easily, more cost-effectively and with greater confidence.

OpenRoad

This flagship service, available in the UK and overseas, helps road maintenance decision-makers (from local government to Formula 1 racing teams) to minimise the impact of the weather, particularly ice, on road and pavement usage.

OpenBridge

This specialised service applies the power of the Met Office's OpenRoad approach to help people tasked with maintaining bridge operations to minimise the impact of the weather.
