Abstract:

Spreading salt on road surfaces is one of the primary means for removing and preventing accumulation of snow and ice. The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) has a new management dashboard featuring actual salt usage during maintenance operations compared to estimated usage amounts, based on road weather conditions. Managers monitor this Dashboard to make sure current usage is reasonable given the weather and is within Iowa DOT’s standard application rate guidelines. Development of this Dashboard is very recent, with implementation occurring in August 2011 before the start of the winter season. Already, the tool is encouraging and allowing maintenance staff to keep a tighter control on salt usage.
