نویسنده
چکیده
1972 witnessed the first attempts in Sweden at constructing simple stations that could be contacted via the telephone network for icy road warnings. This was the beginning of the present-day Swedish road weather system, which now incorporates about 650 stations spread geographically from north to south throughout the entire country. Although these are most highly concentrated in the central and southern parts of Sweden, there is also a large number located further to the north.
