Abstract:

This document provides an overview of the Federal Highway Administration's winter Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS). The MDSS is a decision support tool that has the ability to provide weather predictions focused toward the road surface. These predictions are then merged with customized rules of practice that have been captured from maintenance managers and coded into a computer algorithm. The outcome is a set of treatment recommendations that will help an agency maintain the highest level of service possible given available staff and equipment resources, while minimizing the amount of material applied to the roads.
