Abstract:Winter weather events can yield low visibility and/or lower the coefficient of friction on the road surface resulting in vehicular crashes or congestion. Transportation agencies are tasked with maintaining safe and reliable roadways for the traveling public which includes combating these snow and ice events. The traveling public’s demand for a high level of service (LOS) on roadways continues to increase, even during winter events when significant impacts on travel may occur. It is essential to consider plow and treatment cycle times as agencies work to improve LOS, travel safety, and reliability during snow and ice events. Cycle times can vary significantly depending on a variety of factors, including road type, lane miles, weather, road conditions, traffic volume and more.
