The difficult aspect when a winter storm occurs isn’t getting the trucks onto the roads; it’s finding out what is really going on once the trucks are out in the field. You have to know which streets have been cleared, which priority routes still require a pass, where each truck currently is, and how to make adjustments as the snow continues to fall. For a public works team that has to manage the response using radio calls, paper maps, and the memory of the drivers, answering those questions at the time they occur is almost impossible, and the answers only become available after the storm, by which time it’s too late to take any action.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The following illustrates what this looks like and explains why it is important for the cities that operate it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
