Installing Snowplow Cameras and Integrating Images Into MnDOT's Traveler Information SystemStatus: CompleteReport Date: 10/31/2017 Summary: MnDOT installed network dash cameras and ceiling-mounted cameras on 226 snowplows, approximately one-quarter of MnDOT's snowplow fleet. The cameras, integrated with the onboard mobile data computer and automated vehicle location equipment, automatically captured snapshots of road conditions during plowing. The snapshots were incorporated into several facets of MnDOT's 511 traveler information system: the desktop and mobile versions of the website and the 511 app. Motorists and MnDOT alike found the project to be valuable, with the up-to-the-minute imagery helping members of the public and MnDOT's maintenance staff make well-informed decisions during winter storm events.
