| Snow removal machinery plays an important role in securing the smooth flow of road traffic. However、 there was previously no way to obtain a detailed overview of the progress of local snow removal operations in real time. Accordingly、 in FY 2005、 the Hokkaido Regional Development Bureau introduced the Information Management System for Snow Removal Machinery (referred to below as the core system). With the introduction of this system、 the real-time progress of snow removal operations can be checked on a map、 and past operation records can be reviewed. [*]The goal of this development is to achieve a more efficient and upgraded road maintenance and management service by establishing a management system for snow removal machinery that enables the flexible shifting of snow removal sections by connecting a variety of types of snow-removal-related information based on the core system. In FY 2008、 the setup was developed and field-tested for its dynamic section shift support system、 which enables flexible shifting of snow removal sections、 and for its support system providing daily reports on de-icer application to enable the organization of spreader vehicle operations to verify its effectiveness. |
