Title:

Decision Support System for Winter Maintenance: Feasibility Demonstration

Abstract:

This project reports on existing work in developing decision support tools to select chemical applications appropriate to winter weather conditions, to describe in detail those which are at or near an operational state, and to assess the feasibility of implementation as part of a road weather information system (RWIS). A literature review identified four decision support systems: an Expert System development project by the Swedish National Road Administration (SNRA), a table-based menu for anti-icing developed by FHWA, a computerized adaptation of the FHWA menu, and an Expert System development by Swedish Road and Transport Research Institute.
