Syracuse, NY improve snow removal with software
To better respond to residents and provide transparency about snow removal, the city is now using a three-pronged software approach which includes ESRI’s ArcGIS Velocity product paired with Samsara’s cloud-based location technology, which updates the Snow Operations Map with a plow’s location every few seconds. The third vendor is Rubicon, which offers a platform Syracuse uses year-round for management and routing of snow and waste removal vehicle fleets.

Project Succeeded
Per SmartCitiesDives:"The real-time tracker allows residents to see which roads have been plowed and when. They can more easily see if the route to work or school is cleared, budget more time for travel, or decide to stay home. The Snow Operations Map also reports when there’s an impediment, like an illegally parked car, that is preventing a plow from going down a certain street."
