This project examined application methods and data to provide analytics and make data-driven decisions for state-wide deployment and operations. The objective of this project was to identify and develop tools INDOT could provide its operators to effectively perform winter operation de-icing activities. The prioritization of assets during winter storm events is crucial and impacts travel and safety. Maintenance of the roadways includes pavement repair in the summer as well as snow removal and de-icing in the winter. INDOT manages and maintains over 28,000 miles of roadways. The resulting intelligent snowplow database stores real-time vehicle location, salt spreader controller and vehicle data, and dash images every minute, allowing agencies to actively monitor and deploy their assets. The database itself is not available for download in PURR because it is both prohibitively large and continually updated, but this resource is part of a series of tools based on those data.įor fleet management and training, Automatic Vehicle Location devices were installed on all 1,100 Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) fleet trucks beginning in October 2020. The information provided in this resource is based on the intelligent snowplow database for Indiana managed by the Joint Transportation Research Program (JTRP). This video has been uploaded to all tablets to provide the operators with a guide for use of the tablet. This video demonstrates how to login to the Parsons Tablet, perform pre/post trip inspection, and the overall functionality of the tablet.
