Wintry weather is responsible for more than 1.2 million crashes in the U.S. every year, and more than 70% of American roads are located in regions that annually receive more than 5 inches of snowfall on average. Consequently, winter road maintenance operations are critically important to our nation's roadway safety and mobility. And when it comes to winter maintenance, better data saves lives. Road maintenance teams need to know when the next winter storm will hit and which roadways will be most impacted. To effectively perform maintenance operations that reduce the risks posed by hazardous winter driving conditions, it is critical that road authority decision-makers are equipped with the right tools to monitor the current conditions on roadways and take timely action aimed at keeping communities safe while reducing the high costs of winter road maintenance. |
