Abstract
Effective delivery of winter road maintenance (WRM) services requires significant resources ranging from plows and salters, to materials, and condition‐monitoring technologies. This chapter covers the planning and management of these resources, which are essential to delivering a sustainable winter road maintenance program that meets service requirements with minimal costs and impacts on the environment. Specially, the chapter focuses on four major design problems, namely, network partitioning or districting; fleet sizing and mixing; vehicle routing and scheduling; and siting of Road Weather Information System (RWIS) stations, covering the general principles, guidelines, and methods. The chapter also discusses salt management involving level of service policies, use of weather services, monitoring and record keeping, roadway and pavement design, vegetation management, and design/operations of road maintenance yards.
