Title:

Performance Measures for Winter Operations

Abstract:

New winter maintenance vehicles are being equipped with DGPS receivers and numerous sensors that collect environmental data (e.g., pavement and air temperature), equipment status data (e.g., plow up / plow down), and material usage data (e.g., salt application rate). This paper describes a comprehensive set of performance measures for winter maintenance that can be computed from data collected by DGPS receivers and sensors on winter maintenance vehicles.
