• Abstract:
  Maintenance of transportation assets can be complex due to varying weather effects of snow, ice, wind, temperature, and other factors. The goal of DOTs conducting weather event operations and maintenance is to provide safe and clear roadways for motorists. Currently, the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) uses the Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) for its winter weather maintenance operations. As the lead state for the Pooled Fund Study PF-(054), SDDOT would like a strategic implementation plan to deploy the Pooled Fund MDSS (PFMDSS) and its use further across the state. The goal of this research project is to develop a comprehensive implementation plan for future use of the PFMDSS at SDDOT. To achieve this goal, a rigorous literature review, combined with interviews with SDDOT maintenance staff, discussions and investigations of other state DOTs using the MDSS, and discussions with MDSS vendors were conducted. This process allowed the research team to develop a series of implementation strategies to begin deploying the PFMDSS to more route segments and equipping more trucks with data collection systems and piloting the use of a tablet device as the PFMDSS interface in trucks.
