Abstract:

Training for supervisors and field operators in understanding the new processes and equipment used in proactive snow and ice control techniques has been slow in developing. Lack of effective and scientifically based training has hampered progress in the implementation of anti-icing (AI) and road weather information system (RWIS) technologies. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), recognizing these educational needs, established a pooled fund study to provide the necessary financial support to develop a national computer-based, AI/RWIS training program for state and local governments. Nearly all of the snow-belt states and the American Public Works Association and the National Association of County Engineers contributed to this pooled fund. The computer-based training (CBT) program developed to meet this need is fundamentally a menu-driven, hyperlinked, interactive, content manager. The user, once logged in, can work through this standalone training from beginning to end, like a book, returning to the menu at intervals, as desired, to select another path. The content is photographs, illustrations, text, video, charts, animation, interaction, narration, and other means of communication. There are opportunities at various points to access the progress the user is making educationally, including quizzes, scenario-based problem cases, and exercises. The training can be individually administered or used in a group setting and can be the foundation for a certification program.
