MCV Winter Maintenance

'MCV Winter Maintenance' supports snow plow operations and other roadway treatments (e.g., salt spraying and other material applications). It supports communications with the center to receive information and instructions that are provided to the vehicle operator and also supports remote control of on-board systems. It tracks operational status of snow and ice control operations and provides this information back to the center.

3. The maintenance and construction vehicle shall monitor winter maintenance materials information including remaining quantity and current application rate of materials on the vehicle.
