• Abstract:
  Route optimization is a method of creating a set of winter highway treatment routes to meet a range of targets, including ; service level improvements, resource reallocation and changes to overriding constraints. These routes will allow the ; operator clear the pavement in a timely and efficient manner, reducing wastage and utilizing resources to their best effect. ; Implementation : ; The implementation of a route optimisation exercise will be determined by the Boulder maintenance area. The final ; decision on whether a route optimization exercise could be of valuable to CDOT operations will be made in conjunction ; with the decision-makers prior to any regional or statewide implementation plan. Vaisala has advised on potential route ; strategies together with weather station locations based on the Thermal Map findings which would complement the current ; setup.
