Abstract:

This application was identified as a promising rural Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) solution under a project sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the ENTERPRISE program. This summary describes the solution as well as opportunities for expansion into the broader context of rural ITS. Winter weather road maintenance constitutes a significant effort, especially in northern states. The objective of this solution is to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of applying anti- and de-icing materials to the road surfaces by monitoring the weather and road conditions on-site with the maintenance vehicles.
