Disastrous weather is the main factor which threatens the transportation security. It is difficult for traditional ground observation stations to monitor and forecast weather condition along roads to meet the transportation needs. Remote sensing (RS) technology can overcome this shortage, and shows great potentiality in transport weather research. Disastrous weather conditions will cause significant changes of geometrical or spectral features in RS images. Based on the research results obtained by domestic and foreign scientists, this paper mainly introduced the application of RS to transportation networks, weather disasters monitoring and forecasting, traffic flow, secondary disasters and loss assessment. Researches on application of RS to several typical weather conditions, such as heavy fog, rain storm, dust storm, low temperature, ice and snow coverage, were emphasized. There are good theoretical basis and practical background for RS to be applied to transportation meteorological disasters. Notable effects have been primarily manifested. Such researches will become the trend and the hot spot in transportation meteorology. With the development of RS quantification level, this application will acquire more progress and will provide the basis for disaster mechanism analysis, roads dynamical monitoring and forecasting.
