Winter Resilience: from storm events and power outages, to winter decision making and automation
With Storm events and power outages becoming more frequent throughout North East Scotland, and the presence of challenging winter seasons, is clear that the Roads Industry need to adapt to changing conditions and ensure adequacy of implemented measures. Aberdeenshire Council’s Roads & Infrastructure Service Team are committed to developing solutions to these challenging scenarios to improve winter performance as well as resilience.
How can we ensure we react quickly to these conditions whilst also maintaining performance in the day-to-day?
This presentation will outline some of the conditions we are faced with, and introduce some of the measures that Aberdeenshire Council have implemented. It will discuss how they have worked on the ground and lessons learned.
