Baron launches API Website for fleet operations

Baron announced the launch of the Baron Weather API for Fleet website, now optimized for development. Baron Weather API for Fleet makes it easy to integrate quality-controlled weather data into fleet management tracking platforms, transportation management systems for pre-planning, and mobile driver applications.

The Baron Weather API for Fleet website offers customers an intuitive and customizable user experience, including a renovated documentation area with improved organization and faster access. With more customer dashboard features and convenient key display, customers can leverage Baron Weather API using any coding language, whether to track current conditions, view forecast conditions, or access historical data.

Global weather and Baron exclusive data power the products with real differentiators, helping keep customers and assets safe. With accurate weather data, fleet customers can plan routes ahead of time to avoid inclement weather, get better situational awareness around storms, and reduce weather-related accidents.

Patented technologies include real-time and forecast road conditions that identify dangerous roads before the delays begin; current road conditions weather to help track conditions experienced by fleet vehicles in real time; and Baron Storm Tracking, which provides storm arrival and location details. Other available data features include forecast precipitation, winds, snowfall, and extreme temperatures. This information is continually tracked over the next 60-hour period to show the potential impact on fleet operations and enable customers to plan before disruptions begin.
