Methods for Estimating the Benefits for Winter Maintenance Operations

Overview

The project is complete. The research identified an approach for estimating the benefits of winter maintenance operations in terms of increased safety, reduced travel time, and reduced fuel usage and discussed the limitations of the approach. In addition, data from a state highway agency was used to illustrate applicability of this approach for estimating the benefits accrued from performing winter maintenance operations.
