| Abstract | Remote monitoring through the use of cameras is widely utilized for traffic operation, but has not been utilized widely for roadway maintenance operations. The Utah Department of Transportation has implemented a new remote monitoring system, referred to as a Cloud-enabled Remote Video Streaming (CRVS) camera system for snow removal-related maintenance operations. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the use of the CRVS camera system in snow removal-related maintenance operations and was conducted in two parts: opinion surveys of maintenance station supervisors and an analysis on snow removal-related maintenance costs. On a scale of 1 (least effective) to 5 (most effective), the average overall effectiveness given by the station supervisors was 4.3 for both direct interviews and online questionnaire. The average reduction in expedition trips after the installation of the camera was estimated to be about 33 percent. An expedition cost comparison was performed for 10 sets of maintenance stations within Utah. It was difficult to make any definitive inferences from the comparison of expedition costs; hence, a statistical analysis was performed using the Mixed Model ANOVA, resulting in an average of 14% higher ratio of expedition costs at maintenance stations with a CRVS camera before the installation. This difference was not proven to be statistically significant at the 95% confident level, but indicated that the CRVS cameras were on the average helpful in reducing expedition costs and may be considered practically significant. |
