February 15, 2008 - The U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) has released a new version of its software that helps road maintenance
managers prepare for winter weather and treat roads affected by snow, sleet or
rain. The 5.0 version of the
Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) prototype integrates road weather
forecasts, recommended maintenance practices and maintenance resource data to
provide managers with strategies for keeping roads open during adverse winter
weather. The new software is available
through DOT’s website at http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/Weather/index.asp.
