GPS Snow Removal (M. Walters)

 

 

 

Snow removal is a challenge that many Canadian municipalities face.  In an effort to increase efficiency and improve service delivery, many municipalities in Canada have begun to deploy and track their snow removal equipment by utilizing GPS monitoring.

Can Administration provide a report that details the following:

1.    Edmonton’s history with GPS utilization for route optimization and equipment tracking in our road maintenance operations.

2.    Any information that Administration currently has about which other Canadian municipalities have implemented snow removal GPS technology, and what the experience has been with implementation.

3.    Any known benefits and challenges to implementing GPS snow removal in Edmonton.

4.    Any information that Administration currently has regarding the potential costs and known benefits of GPS snow removal programs.
