Winter Weather Operations can be used to develop winter weather response plans, monitor winter weather operations in real-time, share near real-time road status updates, and track vehicle locations and materials used during winter weather events.
Adverse weather conditions have a major impact on the safety of roadways and communities depend on efficient winter weather operations to keep roads safe and traffic flowing. As a result, state and local agencies spend more than 2.3 billion dollars on snow and ice control operations annually. Unfortunately, the increasing frequency and severity of winter storms is consuming a larger percentage of operations and maintenance budgets each year. Winter Weather Operations is typically implemented by public works departments, road commissions, and departments of transportation that want to understand where snow plows have traveled during a winter storm, optimize response activities, and clearly communicate what roads have been serviced.
The Winter Weather Operations solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you develop winter weather response plans, centralize snowplow vehicle feeds, monitor winter weather operations in real-time, share near real-time road status updates, and track vehicle locations and materials used during winter weather events (and the entire winter season).
