Abstract:This document is an updated concept of operations (ConOps) for developing a snowplow adaptive route optimization (ARO) solution incorporating insights from transportation agencies that reviewed the first version. The information in this ConOps supports systems engineering for creating an ARO capability or tool that incorporates real-time and historical data for maintenance and operations personnel to use during adverse winter weather. State departments of transportation 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 could produce savings through reduced staff time, material use, and waste. This ConOps describes current snowplow routing technologies and practices, the need for changes, the concept for ARO, application scenarios, effects on systems and organizations, and advantages and limitations.
