Vaisala's Online Calculator Wins Better Roads Award
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
December 7, 2011 - Vaisala's RoadDSS Value Calculator, a free online tool
developed by the leading road weather solution provider, has won a "2011 Best
New Products Top Rollouts" award from Better Roads magazine. With the free
online RoadDSS Value Calculator, local road authorities can evaluate their
potential cost and community savings to using road weather information systems
or road decision support systems for winter operations.
The Calculator asks the users 12 questions about road maintenance operations.
Once the user has input infrastructure and cost information, the calculator uses
embedded algorithms to produce calculated savings based on referenced study
findings and regional averages. The report provides a breakdown of all direct
and indirect cost savings, including safety and environmental aspects. Users can
adjust any of the information they've input into the calculator to better tailor
their end report, and they can modify the assumptions made by the application to
achieve more localized and accurate results.
The editors of Better Roads award Top Rollout recognition each year to the
products that enrich the highway and bridge construction industry with
innovation, productivity and/or greater supplier competition.
