Abstract
A system includes a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to determine a route based on at least one of (a) an amount of snow accumulation, and (b) a predicted amount of remediation material, for each of a plurality of road segments, actuate a vehicle to follow the route, and actuate at least one of a snow plow and a material spreader on the vehicle.
Claims20
A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- determine a route based on at least one of (a) an amount of snow accumulation, and (b) a predicted amount of remediation material, for each of a plurality of road segments;
- actuate a vehicle to follow the route;
- and
- actuate at least one of a snow plow and a material spreader on the vehicle.
A method, comprising:
- determining a route based on at least one of (a) an amount of snow accumulation and, (b) a predicted amount of remediation material, for each of a plurality of road segments;
- actuating a vehicle to follow the route;
- and
- actuating at least one of a snow plow and a material spreader on the vehicle.
A system, comprising:
- a vehicle including at least one of a snow plow and a remediation material spreader;
- means for determining a route based on at least one of (a) an amount of snow accumulation, and (b) a predicted amount of remediation material, for each of a plurality of road segments;
- and
- means for actuating at least one of the snow plow and the remediation material spreader when the vehicle follows the route.
