Overview: 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 used geospatial technologies to develop winter maintenance tools. A major goal of this paper 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.
