In this chapter we first summarize the main challenges facing the winter road maintenance industry in attempting to deliver a cost‐effective and environmentally sustainable maintenance program, challenges such as climate change, demand for higher levels of service, change in driver behavior, road weather and condition forecasting, and operator fatigue. Subsequently, this chapter provides a brief discussion of the main opportunities for winter road operations. In the management domain, these include enhanced communications and coordination between stakeholders and better training. In the technology domain, possible future advances in weather forecasting, vehicles, sensors, and communication technologies are discussed, focusing on their potential impacts on the maintenance sector. In particular, we highlight those technologies that are imminently available in a foreseeable horizon, such as connected vehicles (CV), Internet of Things (IoT), new plowing/materials application technologies, and crowdsourced road condition monitoring and maintenance. The chapter concludes with future research directions.
