Abstract:Adaptive route optimization (ARO) is a method of dynamically and effectively routing winter maintenance vehicles across all segments of a road network to meet an agency’s maintenance goals, subject to real-time disruptions from atmospheric and road weather conditions, traffic congestion, incidents, work zones, and resource constraints. ARO could enable agencies to respond more quickly and efficiently to changing storm conditions, resource constraints, and service expectations than is possible with current routing systems. ARO has the potential to restore pavement conditions faster, reducing weather-related risk and improving mobility. 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 equipment hours. This report describes readiness for developing ARO capabilities for winter maintenance operations in terms of technical, market, financial, and institutional feasibility and considerations for prototype demonstration and potential national rollout.
