Abstract
 McHenry County Implements GIS Technology to Enhance Snow Plow Application Track: Transportation Author(s): Nicole Gattuso, Xun Zhang, Mark DeVries, Mike Van Meeteren McHenry County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state of Illinois. During winter months, it is imperative for the McHenry County Division of Transportation to effectively route snow plows to enhance operational efficiency. McHenry County developed a GIS Web site to manage the snow plow fleet and to analyze the application of salt along routes in an effort to maximize the use of limited resources. This paper will cover the implementation of Wireless, GPS, laser and other latest technologies for data collection, n-tier distributed system architecture powered by ArcIMS and ArcSDE software, benefits achieved, and lessons learned from our experience.
