Abstract:

The snowdrift transport model SnowTran-3D has been modified to work integrally with geographic information system (GIS) software. This allows use of the model with standard GIS tools and layers enabling direct display and analysis of drifts on roads and other features of interest. This is currently being developed as a planning tool for state and local departments of transportation and the U.S. Army for deployment of road maintenance equipment. Additionally it can be used as a forecasting tool for the maintenance decision support system and can work in conjunction with real-time meteorological forecasting, to allow posting of 48-h forecasts of drift formation on roads. Preliminary model validation data show that SnowTran-3D is capable of correctly predicting drift location and volume for drifts deposited in the lee of a road or berm.
