Treatment of transport networks of the winter period is a key responsibility of maintenance teams whether in the private or public sector. With tightening budgets and increasing statutory requirements, maintenance teams are looking to improve the treatment of networks by improving ice prediction techniques. Improved forecasting techniques leads to financial savings, reduction in environmental damage and degradation of road surfaces and reduces potential litigation cases. This paper outlines a GIS desktop based approach to surveying a route and the results of integration into Aerospace and Marine International's GRIP (Geographical Road Ice Predictor) model in recent trials held across the county of Hampshire as to the effectiveness of the methods used. It also discusses development work currently being undertaken to display the forecast data via an internet mapping portal using ESRI ArcGIS Server.
