The winter road maintenance process has traditionally relied on predetermined, fixed material spreading rates based on the weather event. But road conditions can vary significantly—even over short distances—which can make fixed-rate application expensive and may lead to excessive amounts of salt in the environment.
Dynamic spreading is poised to be a true game-changer for winter road maintenance.
While the concept of dynamic spreading may be familiar to winter road maintenance, its use has been limited by a lack of data availability. Today, the advanced technology in the Vaisala Mobile Detector MD30 makes real time data-driven decisions a reality, unlocking exciting new possibilities.
Watch this Fireside Chat with Vaisala and the City of Fort Collins to see how they experienced a 45% to 55% reduction in salt use during snowstorms without compromising road safety, leading to major cost savings over a single season.
Don’t miss out on this transformative approach to winter maintenance. Watch the Fireside Chat to learn how dynamic spreading can revolutionize your operations, save you money, and keep your roads safer and more efficient.
