Weather company helps build next generation of safer vehicles – BizWest

Global Weather is a technology transfer spinoff of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder. “They’re a company that works with road friction,” Global Weather CEO Bill Gail said about NIRA. “Car companies are interested in road friction because they can determine how safe the roads are,” he said. At that stage, Global Weather would likely sign volume-based contracts valued on the number of vehicles that use the technology. By adding the weather data from Global Weather, the NIRA/GWC combination will provide industry-leading road surface monitoring and prediction of future road conditions.
