MC06-Winter Maintenance (Market Package*)
Market Package Graphic Transaction Set Diagram
Description
This market package supports winter road maintenance including snow plow operations, roadway treatments (e.g., salt spraying and other anti-icing material applications), and other snow and ice control activities. This package monitors environmental conditions and weather forecasts and uses the information to schedule winter maintenance activities, determine the appropriate snow and ice control response, and track and manage response operations.Includes Equipment Packages and Subsystems:

This market package has been identified as an early deployment due to a promising combination of low risk implementation characteristics, developing public or private markets for the package, and tangible system or user benefits. This market package supports winter road maintenance in the form of snow plow operations, roadway treatment (e.g., salt spraying and other material applications) based on information received from various weather sources. Environmental conditions are also detected from environmental sensors and maintenance and construction vehicle on-board sensors. This system exists today and is typically on snow plow vehicles that operate in regions that experience winter conditions.Rural Development
For the Surface Transportation and Weather Rural Development Track, this market package is applicable to a significant number of rural user needs, may require some augmentation for the rural environment. It addresses the needs of the broad rural development track by the following: Environmental conditions are also detected from environmental sensors and maintenance and construction vehicle on-board sensors and is used by decision support systems to implement appropriate corrective actions. Operational status of these systems are sent to the maintenance and construction operating agency.For the Operations and Maintenance Rural Development Track, this market package is highly applicable to rural user needs and suitable for the rural environment. It addresses the needs of the broad rural development track by the following: Systems that support winter road maintenance in the form of snow plow operations, roadway treatment (e.g., salt spraying and other material applications) based on information received from various weather sources.
For the Crash Prevention and Security Rural Development Track, this market package is applicable to a significant number of rural user needs, may require some augmentation for the rural environment. It addresses the needs of the broad rural development track by the following: Systems that monitor environmental conditions on segments of roadway and decisions are made when to deploy snow plow operations in order to reduce vehicular accidents.
