Abstract
Keeping winter roads clear is resource intensive. In addition to costs for deicing materials, maintenance crews and equipment, state departments of transportation (DOTs) must have capabilities to deploy crews to the locations that need them the most. Road weather information systems, which measure actual road conditions, are expensive and provide limited spatial coverage. While snowplow operators and plow cams provide valuable road condition information, the geographic and temporal coverage also can be limited. As lead state for the Aurora pooled fund program, Iowa DOT is interested in working with other member states to evaluate potential new data sources, including connected vehicles (CV).
