Abstract:Clear Roads has undertaken an initiative to establish a Plug - and - Play protocol that fosters interoperability between various winter maintenance equipment and a point location (central office). This report documents the data types and communication methods to allow communicate between the plow equipment and a point location. By implementing concepts discussed in this report, winter maintenance agencies will strive to allow interoperation between various equipment vendors through the use of open protocol standards like the National Transportation Communications for Intelligent Transportation System Protocol (NTCIP) and Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS. Additionally, they will gain the ability to interoperate between agencies by transmitting data in an open and consistent format. The project included a literature review, an agency survey, freight industry survey, and the development of a list of data types to be considered for inclusion in the Plug - and - Play standard . Currently, no single protocol addresses all the needs identified and it was deemed to be not feasible to incorporate such needs into any given protocol. Instead, it is recommended to implement a “family” of open standards that include appropriate data types.
