Title:

An Advanced Weather Information Decision Support System for Winter Road Maintenance

Abstract:

The FHWA began a project in fiscal year 2001 to develop a prototype Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) tailored for winter road maintenance decision makers. The MDSS will be (1) based on leading diagnostic and prognostic research systems of weather and road behavior, which are being developed at national research centers; and (2) non-proprietary, that is, the use of intellectual content contained within the prototype will not be restricted and thus will be available for federal and private applications
