Mobile Resource Management for Snow Operations in Globe District, Arizona

The Globe District in Arizona is dedicated to ensuring safe and accessible transportation during snowstorms. The mission includes efficient road clearing and maximizing limited resources. The Mobile Resource Management (MRM) initiative aims to enhance snow operations through the deployment of real-time communication devices in plow trucks. This two-phase project plans to integrate 30 MRM units across the district to improve operational efficiency, address challenges such as legal compliance and public relations, and ultimately save costs in snow and ice control.

  1. Globe, Arizona District Snow Effort Mobile Resource Management Joel Miller , John Wakefield, Tim Fox

  2. GLOBE District Mission Statement: To construct, maintain and manage the state transportation system in the Globe District, to meet or exceed the expectations of our customers. Snow Mission • Keep the roads open and safe during snow storms. • Clear the roads of snow efficiently and safely. • Maximize use of limited resources for winter storm events.

  3. Snowfall Distribution State of Arizona Globe District Snow Coverage

  4. Snow Removal Program - Globe 7 Departments (ORGS) 30 Plow Trucks 65 Operators 21 State Routes 2507 miles

  5. PRIORITY ROUTES

  6. Maintenance Expenditures - Globe Snow and Ice Control = 21 Percent!

  7. Challenges in Managing Snow Operations 1. Legal – Showing when & where we plowed and applied chemical. 2. Public Relations – Showing the public in real time, when & where we’ve plowed and applied chemical. 3. Reviewing our storm operation for improvements. 4. Maximum efficiency with our limited resources. 5. Storm scheduling issues – Crews, Plows, Routes, and Materials. 6. Operator safety – Many areas without radio coverage.

  8. Solution Mobile Resource Management

  9. MRM Definition Mobile – An “on-board”, near real-time solution Resource – Trucks, People, Data Management – Utilizing information collected above.

  10. MRM for Snow Operations Project will eventually deploy 30 MRM units with cellular based communication devices in plows across the Globe District in 2 phases. Key Goal: Determine potential value added for equipping entire ADOT snowplow fleet w/ MRM units. Duration 12 Month ATRC Funding $125,000 + Globe’s $60,000 Total Program $185,000

  11. MRM for Snow Operations Phase 1 • Consisted of FORCE America DATA Commander installations in 12 current trucks with existing SSC5100 controllers (COMPLETE) • Partnering with the Equipment Shop, installs and fabrication was performed internally producing $11,227 in labor cost savings. • Started 12-11-2007 ~ Finished 4-1-2008 • Total Labor hrs = 538.5 • Total Cost $ 34,544 • Avg Labor+Parts per - $2601 • Avg Labor per unit - $2080 • Avg Parts Cost per Unit - $520

  12. MRM for Snow Operations Phase 2 • Consist of FORCE America DATA Commander AND SSC5100 controller installations in 16 current trucks with existing Dickey-John and Raven controllers (31%) • 5 trucks complete - • Total Labor hrs = 453 • Total Cost $ 29,352
