Developed through a collaboration between WeatherWalay and ONE Network, the system is the first of its kind in the region. It includes 14 automated weather stations, five air-quality sensors, four visibility sensors, and satellite-based data streams.

The network monitors fog, rainfall, wind patterns, and reduced visibility, common hazards along the 375-km route. Motorists will receive live updates through smartphone apps, websites, and digital screens installed at toll plazas.

Authorities say the system will significantly enhance road safety by giving drivers, motorway operators, and emergency agencies immediate access to the same meteorological data, enabling better hazard planning and response.

Beyond highway travel, the system also supports agriculture, tourism, energy management, and environmental monitoring. The technology uses locally developed software combined with select imported components to ensure accuracy across Pakistan’s diverse terrain.

Experts note that microclimate variations especially around Islamabad, make dense sensor networks essential for precise forecasting. The project marks a major step toward improving early warning systems and strengthening climate-resilient infrastructure.
