| In February 1984 an International Road Weather Conference was held in Delft and in the Hague. The conference was arranged by the committee responsible for COST 30 BIS Theme 2-Detection of weather conditions. This conference was attended by over 50 people from 13 countries. In discussions about concluding COST 30 BIS, the meeting appointed a voluntary steering committee of seven people, on an ad hoc basis, to draw up an agenda for future co-operation. The results from the demonstration, the research work and the conference have proved that there is an urgent need for further research and international co-operation in the field of weather conditions on the roads. |
|
| The steering committee met at Birmingham University in September 1984. A constitution for the Standing European Road Weather Commission (SERWEC) was agreed. The constitution was approved by the Second European Road Weather Conference, which was held in Copenhagen from 26th February to 1st March 1985. |
|
| SERWEC became International in 1992 in the US, thus changing its name to SIRWEC accordingly. |
