Title:
The Winter Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS): Demonstration Results and Future Plans
Abstract:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has sponsored development of a winter Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) functional prototype. During the winter of 2002-2003, the prototype was deployed at several maintenance garages in central Iowa for a field demonstration. This paper documents the implementation of the demonstration, summarizes the lessons learned, includes verification statistics and discusses technology transfer activities. The paper also describes plans for a longer, more comprehensive demonstration during the winter of 2003-2004.
