Book excerpt: "This synthesis report will be of interest to transportation agency maintenance engineers, managers, and operators and others involved with roadway snow and ice control including safety engineers, traffic engineers, and law enforcement agency personnel. It presents information on the state of the practice in managing roadway snow and ice control considering both rural and urban locations. The document describes the developments that have occurred during the past 20 years to improve winter maintenance. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses winter maintenance policies and provides examples for state, city, and county agencies. Included in the discussion of winter maintenance policies are issues such as: levels of service, public relations, liability for services, and experimenting with new policies. Additional information is included on estimating winter maintenance benefits and costs; personnel and management issues; weather information systems; and materials, equipment, and facilities for winter maintenance."--Avant-propos.

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 Resources, Practices and Needs for Weather Forecasting to Facilitate Winter Road Maintenance written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A transportation agency’s ability to deliver effective winter road maintenance combines three essentials: a professional, knowledgeable staff, including trained snowplow operators; a fleet of high quality, well-maintained equipment and appropriate supplies; and, perhaps most important and most difficult to consistently acquire, accurate and timely weather information. Sources of weather information for transportation agencies are many and varied. This synthesis project sought to determine the best practices agencies use to acquire accurate and timely weather information to strategize and deploy equipment for winter road maintenance operations. The project also examined the practices used to convey information about forecasts and road weather conditions between agency offices and operators in the field. Two surveys directed to winter road maintenance practitioners at Clear Roads member agencies gathered information from central office staff and field personnel. Results of a literature search supplement survey findings.
