Abstract:The goal of this project was to demonstrate applications for using AVL/GPS technologies to support winter and all-season maintenance activities. Clear Roads agencies also needed information about the transferability of the technologies to transition the systems between winter and other seasonal maintenance activities. A review of the literature provided a better understanding of nonwinter maintenance uses of AVL/GPS systems among transportation agencies. To supplement the findings of the literature review, researchers surveyed state departments of transportation (DOTs) and municipal transportation agencies to gather information about agency applications of these technologies across seasons. Follow-up interviews were conducted with staff from three of the state DOTs and two municipal agencies that reported the highest nonwinter use of the systems. These interviews provided additional details about AVL/GPS system planning, procurement and operations, and were used to develop five in-depth case studies. Finally, three additional state DOTs were interviewed, two of which transfer AVL/GPS systems between vehicles.
