Researchers will create a Snowplow Operations Management System to (1) collect and display live feed of images from cameras mounted on winter operation vehicles, (2) collect and store current and forecasted ambient temperature data, (3) predict road surface temperatures for the next five days and identify roads with probable icing hazards, (4) develop an easy-to-use map-based ArcGIS exinterface showing the live feed of camera images, ambient temperatures, road surface temperatures, and probable icing road segments for safe and efficient operation of snowplows. The project will be performed for TxDOT’s Wichita Falls District. The research team will also prepare and present a schedule and cost analysis for implementing the proposed Snowplow Operations Management System in TxDOT districts beyond the Wichita Falls district. |
