Managing Winter Operations
We're providing an SaaS that enables municipalities and organizations to manage their winter operations by using a proper records management system. Most importantly, by centralizing an organization's winter maintenance data into one spot.
How it works
Records and Information Management
Automated tracking and record-keeping procedures reduce potential liability risks associated with winter maintenance. The most cost effective approach involves demonstrating your municipality's engagement with a proper winter management system.
Fully Loaded Report Generation
Generate reports for seasonal assessments and choose variables such as locations and duration to generate summaries for mitigation purposes.
We're making it easier for cities that follow the Code of Practice: Road Salts Winter Management to create their annual June reports by automatically generating much of the information that Environment Canada requests.
Materials Inventory and Environmental Monitoring
When a fleet vehicle enters the boundaries of a given vulnerable area, salt distribution records accumulate over time. Working with researchers at the University of Waterloo, our models predict the chloride concentrations on water surfaces based on the distribution records.
When levels approach predefined limits, users receive a notification suggesting that field tests should occur.
Chloride concentrations follow the Canadian Water Quality Guideline for the Chloride ion for the protection of aquatic life.
Forecast and Historical Weather Reporting
View weather data from city weather stations and pavement temperature forecast to observe minute-by-minute to the hour, hour-by-hour, and day-by-day forecasts out to seven days.
Receive notifications on severe weather alerts from Environment Canada, and view weather observations from previous years.
Want to find the dates when snowstorms or freezing rain occurred during a particular winter season? With a few clicks, you'll be able to get the information you need in seconds.
Fleet Tracking and Salt Distribution
DataSpot uses existing AVL/GPS data that allow us to generate salt distribution maps that show how much road salt a truck distributes and where it's getting distributed during its route.
User can filter past vehicle route data by vehicle ids, dates, and weather conditions to produce assessments, such as knowing the total number of events requiring salt vehicles in a season.
