Abstract

Iowa DOT relies on a variety of automated data sources and high-tech systems to monitor pavement and weather conditions to help determine when winter maintenance treatments are needed on the state’s roads. Conditions, however, can vary between monitored locations. New research indicates that combining still images from roadway cameras with machine learning algorithms can identify road conditions and support effective and efficient snow and ice clearing practices.
