Download or read book Enhancement of Winter Maintenance Material Ordering and Inventory written by Frank W. Ciarallo and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expenditures for winter maintenance materials total nearly $20 million annually. During an average winter ODOT uses approximately 666,000 tons of rock salt and has the capacity to store roughly 617,000 tons of material at various locations. Each year, each county in Ohio establishes a contract through ODOT with a salt vendor before the winter season and that vendor supplies all garages in the county for the entire season. In order to develop a systematic salt inventory management strategy that achieves the statewide goals for safety, this project developed ordering guidelines for each county that specifies when to order and how much to order based on an (R, S)-inventory guideline. These guidelines take into account the history of usage and deliveries in a county, as well as the monthly variation in usage. The inventory guidelines developed for the different areas of Ohio are based on a weather regression model for the major cities/counties in the state relating usage to weather. The guidelines were tested and refined using a computer simulation methodology. The resulting guidelines are compared to the current ODOT guidelines for inventory, as well as compared to the county storage capacities to develop recommendations. The project also developed design concepts for inventory monitoring to support effective ordering.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Download or read book Web based Implementation of a Winter Maintenance Decision Support System Using GIS and Remote Sensing written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winter maintenance, particularly snow removal and the stress of snow removal materials on public structures, is an enormous budgetary burden on municipalities and nongovernmental maintenance organizations in cold climates. Lately, geospatial technologies such as remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and decision support tools are providing a valuable tool for planning snow removal operations. A few researchers recently used geospatial technologies to develop winter maintenance tools. However, most of these winter maintenance tools, while having the potential to address some of these information needs, are not typically placed in the hands of planners and other interested stakeholders. Most tools are not constructed with a nontechnical user in mind and lack an easy to-use, easily understood interface. A major goal of this project was to implement a web-based Winter Maintenance Decision Support System (WMDSS) that enhances the capacity of stakeholders (city/county planners, resource managers, transportation personnel, citizens, and policy makers) to evaluate different procedures for managing snow removal assets optimally. This was accomplished by integrating geospatial analytical techniques (GIS and remote sensing), the existing snow removal asset management system, and web based spatial decision support systems. The web-based system was implemented using the ESRI ArcIMS ActiveX Connector and related web technologies, such as Active Server Pages, JavaScript, HTML, and XML. The expert knowledge on snow removal procedures is gathered and integrated into the system in the form of encoded business rules using Visual Rule Studio. The system developed not only manages the resources but also provides expert advice to assist complex decision making, such as routing, optimal resource allocation, and monitoring live weather information. This system was developed in collaboration with Black Hawk County, IA, the city of Columbia, MO, and the Iowa Department of transportation. This product was also demonstrated for these agencies to improve the usability and applicability of the system.
