Winter Weather Operations can be used to monitor winter weather operations in real-time, measure key performance indicators, and share road status updates with the public.
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 consumes a larger percentage of operations and maintenance budgets each year.
While some organizations track snowplow locations, monitoring service status and understanding performance over time eludes them. Assessing storm responses and continuously improving operations requires information not easily attainable. Understanding where roads have been serviced and snowplows are currently located during a winter storm optimizes response activities and helps clearly communicate road status.
