DISTRIBUTED MAINTENANCE DECISION AND SUPPORT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a computer that receives weather information from a weather service provider (“WSP”) server and automatic vehicle locating system (“AVL”) collected information from an AVL server, accesses a material performance specification for at least one treatment material, and determines, based on the weather information and/or AVL collected information and the material performance specification, a treatment recommendation for a selected roadway segment and/or route.

主权项

1. A method of improving the operation of a Maintenance Decision Support System, comprising:
providing an on-board computer in a maintenance vehicle with a treatment material application algorithm; receiving, over a network and by the on-board computer, at least one real-time input; collecting, by the on-board computer at least one sensor input and at least one operator input; mapping, by the algorithm on the on-board computer, at least one of the real-time input, the sensor input and the operator input against a treatment material application parameter to determine a set of recommended treatment material application parameters; and providing the set of recommended treatment material application parameters to an operator.
