Learn how the State of Indiana DOT has leveraged MDSS technology
during one of the snowiest winters on record!
Weather forecasting
information is readily available on the Internet and TV, but is this enough for
road maintenance managers to properly prepare for snow events? What
if you could isolate when and where snow or ice buildup will occur on a route,
or when to plow or apply treatment with pinpoint accuracy?
Join Tony McClellan, P.E., Deputy Commissioner, Seymour District, Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), and Ben Hershey, Associate Vice President of Iteris, on Wednesday, February 19 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern and learn more about how INDOT has benefitted from using ClearPath Weather™, a maintenance decision support system (MDSS) from Iteris, to optimize snow removal operations during one of the snowiest winters on record.
