| | Artificial-Intelligence-Based Optimization of the Management of Snow Removal Assets and Resources |
 | | Typical issues discussed during these formal interviews included route prioritization, procedures for managing drivers and vehicles, treatment of the roads with salt and sand, inter-agency and intra-agency communication and coordination, minimum snowfall thresholds to mobilize equipment, and other decision-making procedures related to the management of snow removal assets. |
 | | Priority A routes must be cleared before priority B routes, if simultaneous plowing is not possible due to the unavailability of plows, and so on. |
 | | The main purpose of planning routes for the plows is to remove snow using the least amount of resources such as driver time, plows, sand, and salt. |
