This document is a concept of operations for developing a snowplow adaptive route optimization (ARO) solution. The information in this concept of operations supports systems engineering for creating an ARO system or tool that incorporates real-time and historic data for maintenance and operations personnel to use during adverse winter weather. State departments of transportation currently spend more than $2 billion per year on snow and ice control and more than $5 billion per year on repairs due to snow and ice operations, chemical use, and wear. Given these costs, even minor improvements to snowplow routing can produce savings through reduced staff time, material use, and waste. This concept of operations describes current snowplow routing technologies and practices, the need for changes, the concept for ARO, application scenarios, impacts on systems and organizations, and advantages and limitations.
