Title:

Reengineering Winter Road Maintenance: Decision Making Process

Abstract:

Advances have been made in the application of the de-icing technology with the planning of salt treatment action on road networks. The logistics of winter road maintenance are directly linked to the weather changes. With the Reengineering Winter Road Maintenance (RWRM) I profit from the development of road weather forecasting models; sensors; prewetted spreaders; snowplows; as well as action information-, communications-, and network systems. This paper describes the decision-makine process, one of the processes of our RWRM.
