• Abstract:
  This Research-On-Call task provides ODOT a framework with which to evaluate the available new technologies for tracking the distribution of deicing materials. To accomplish this, researchers analyzed the current state of the practice for ODOT storm management, surveyed other transportation agencies about their winter maintenance programs, identified on-board truck-mounted liquid pumps and flow meters that would be capable of dispensing and tracking liquid deicers within ODOT’s fleet, and developed an evaluation criteria and methodology for testing any systems of interest.
