Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) ASFINAG / Oesterreich. Erfahrungen mit einem umfassenden Winterdienst-Managementsystem

Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) ASFINAG / Austria. Experience of a Comprehensive Winter Maintenance Management System

Um Synergien zu nutzen und hohe Qualitaetsstandards, vor allem im Winterdienst, zu erreichen, hat die oesterreichische Autobahnen- und Schnellstrassen-Finanzierungs-Aktiengesellschaft (ASFINAG) das unternehmensweite Projekt Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS ASFINAG) gestartet. Das MDSS System ist eine gaengige, robuste, modulare und skalierbare Plattform, die in der Lage ist, Entscheidungsprozesse aller Depots zur Strassenunterhaltung der ASFINAG zu unterstuetzen. Die Ziele von MDSS sind ein Strassenwetter-Informationssystem (Road Weather Information System, RWIS), die Konzentration von Daten, die Integration von Wettervorhersagen, die Kombination von RWIS und Prognosedaten sowie die Integration von operativen Daten zur Planung von Lagekarten fuer eine umfassende Unterstuetzung bei der Entscheidungsfindung. MDSS vereint alle ueber das Strassennetz verteilten RWIS Stationen und bietet somit allen Anwendern eine gemeinsame Schnittstelle sowie Zugang zu Daten aus benachbarten Regionen. Das oesterreichische Strassennetz wurde entsprechend den Mikro- und Meso-Klimaregionen in etwa 230 Strassenwetter-Segmente unterteilt, fuer die es spezifische Wettervorhersagen fuer bis zu 72 Stunden geben wird.

(KfV/K) TRACT IN ENGLISH: Some of the major objectives in road operation are safety, environmental protection, economics and the necessary optimization of these issues in delivering quality winter maintenance services. In order to increase road safety and optimize traffic flow, high quality prediction and sensor technologies are required as well as appropriate winter service treatments at the right time. Given the complexity of meteorological, traffic and winter service processes, winter maintenance requires a comprehensive management system. In order to benefit from synergies and to reach common, high quality standards - particularly in winter maintenance - ASFINAG has decided to launch a specific, company-wide project: the MDSS ASFINAG. The MDSS system is a common, robust, modular and scalable platform able to support the decisions of all the maintenance depots within the two service companies of ASFINAG. The objectives of the MDSS system are the combination of RWIS (ROAD WEATHER INFORMATION SYSTEM) data and weather forecast data as well as the integration of operational data to devise situation maps for comprehensive decision-making support. The MDSS system brings together all of the RWIS stations distributed over the road network. This provides a common interface for all users, who will have the opportunity to access data from neighboring regions. The Austrian road network has been divided into some 230 Road Weather Segments corresponding to the micro/meso-climatic regions. Specific weather forecasts for up to 72 hours will be established for each of these segments. One of the main benefits of the MDSS system will be to combine local RWIS station data with weather forecast data in order to estimate the condition of the road surface and thus aid in deciding on appropriate maintenance measures.
