Data-driven road maintenance to keep your city moving safely.
Canadian roadways face an incredible range of weather year-round, and road authorities collectively spend $1.3 billion and use 5 million tonnes of road salt annually to keep drivers moving safely. Several road authorities have been exploring ways to reduce their road salt usage, due to chloride contamination environmental concerns and the risks of road salt supply shortages. Bell’s Economical Road Weather Information System (EcoRWIS) is an economical alternative to traditional towered RWIS stations, capturing a simplified set of essential data from roadside sensors that can feed into weather and road forecasts. This data allows agencies to improve road maintenance efficiency by optimizing treatment routes and mixtures, resulting in agency and societal benefit-cost ratios of up to 40:1.
