2 Less Trucks Less Operators Less Salt Technology can help you manage Snow and Ice control plan.

3 Your history Your current plans, What has changed? Are you ready? How much do you know?

4 Support Management Guidelines Technology to enhance Snow and Ice control Program Maximize Effectiveness of manpower and materials When? Before, During, After? Where? Did we do? How much? 200, 300, 500 pounds per lane mile How often? Do we need to do again? Results: Measure and Record to Document. Adjust according to results Drive down cost through enhanced efficiency of assets.

5 A Combination of Detailed Snow plan, and policy by Management can improve snow event performance. Basic electric controls. Specialized Equipment. Standards and Policy implementation and adherence. Process and performance improvement

6 Electric/Electronic controls enable: No live hydraulics in the cab. Enable Ground speed sensitive operation. Conveyor speed adjusts to maintain application rates regardless of truck speed. Spreading stops when truck stops. No piles of salt at intersection Pause and blast functionality. Possible to implement managerial control of product application Data Logging. Manage Tons of granular product applied per lane mile. Manage Gallons of Brine applied per lane mile

7 Low standby parasitic Horsepower loss Adjusts for Hydraulic flows as needed. Provides for flow and spreader functions at low truck engine and ground speed. Effective Blast functionality and operation in Cul de Sacs.

8 Anti-Icing/ De-Icing Pre Treatment Spot treatment 400 to 4500 gallon capacity

9 Combination Granular and Liquids Henderson First Response: One unit to avoid mid operation equipment changes Anti Icing Capability: 100 gallons of Liquid capacity per linear foot Single, double or triple lane anti icing capability Granular Capability: Dual Auger V-Box spreader. Prewet slurry or spray

11 Prewet Slurry Use of Augers and internal prewet brine to saturate salt prior to release onto spinner in lieu of prewet nozzles on falling material: Reduced volume of prewet liquids needed to saturate Consistent product to street Controlled pattern; Less bounce Quick to dissolve on road surface

13 Automated Feed Gate Electronic controller regulates hydraulic feedgate. Spreading requirements are answered by controlling feedgate opening corresponding to groundspeed. Conveyor speed remains more constant with gate opening adjusted to meet material requirements. Gate automatically closes at stops.

14 What do your snow and ice trucks do for your snow plan? Data logging Plow function Spreader function How much material Event logging with GPS coordinates Where When What function(s) AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) Wireless Data Download Ease of data collection means it will be done

15 Command and Control Electronic Controls to Maximize Capabilities of Assets Implement Management s policies and procedures Monitor and Record Performance for Review Tons of Granular product per Lane Mile. Gallons of Brine per Lane Mile. How many boom sections (lanes) Overlays Data onto Map for ease of review Data collected creates usable reports to measure, review and validate performance against objectives.

16 WIRELESS DATA TRACKING SYSTEM

17 CS-WDTS FUNCTION OVERVIEW Functions: Supports both CS-440 and CS-230 controllers Transmits collected data wirelessly to base computer upon return to yard. No recurring service fees for data transfer. Displays truck operation on Map showing vehicle location Monitor and record Spreader and plow functions Generate material and digital input reports Replay historical tracking data. Visual Waypoint mapping via standard Microsoft Mapping software. Not dependent upon G.I.S. 17

20 Allows accurate data to review, plan and develop. Data collected is exported into Microsoft Excel for ease of use. Ultimate Value is Determined by Willingness and ability to review data and implement changes to maximize the performance of assets. The data represents what has been done. Provides data to compare to your Metrics. No seat of your pants assumptions and judgements. Can we do better?

21 Technology can enhance a well managed Snow Plan. Facilitates implementation of policy. Who? When? Where? How Much? Too Much? Not Enough? Policy needs to be based upon good decisions. Good decisions are based upon good data and knowledge.
