Our presentation focuses on the powerful impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on winter road maintenance. We’ll explain how a special decision support system can make winter road maintenance smarter, helping us choose the best ways to clear snow and ice from the roads. We’ll also look back in time to see how snow removal has become so important today and how experts have worked together to create tools that make decisions better. We’ll talk about how important data is in making these decisions and why having lots of good data is crucial. Our main point is how AI, specifically the Smart Maintenance Decision Support System (SmartMDSS), can make everything work better in real-time through a website. We’ll discuss three ways AI helps: by using data to predict what will happen (like the weather), by learning from its mistakes and getting better (just like we do), and by looking at pictures and videos to understand things better. Finally, we’ll talk about how people who take care of the roads learn from AI to make better decisions, and how they practice in a virtual world before doing it in the real world. We’ll also explain how many people are helping to make AI even better by giving feedback. Our presentation shows how AI can make winter road maintenance easier, better, and more efficient, all while making sure it’s safe and reliable.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be better able to:

• AI-Enhanced Winter Road Maintenance: Identify how AI, like deep and reinforcement learning, boosts efficiency and effectiveness in snow removal and road maintenance decisions.
• Data-Driven Winter Maintenance: Discover the power of data-driven AI for accurate, proactive road maintenance decisions using real-time data.
• Human-AI Collaboration: Explain research that shows how AI and experts work together, improving decision-making through continuous feedback, highlighting AI’s adaptive potential.
