1. A system comprising:
- an information management system adapted to receive information from a plurality of information sources, said information sources comprising;
a snow maintenance vehicle-based system adapted to forward acquired information to the information management system;
a stationary system adapted to forward additional information to the information management system;
said information management system further adapted to determine one or more of information and snow maintenance instructions to send to the snow-maintenance vehicle-based system;
the snow maintenance vehicle-based system adapted to receive, from the information management system, the one or more of information and snow maintenance instructions; and
a display mounted in a snow maintenance vehicle, adapted to display the information and/or snow maintenance instructions determined by the information management system; and
wherein the additional information forwarded to the information management system by the stationary system is used to refine the snow maintenance instructions sent to the snow maintenance vehicle.

Abstract
Selected types of information are collected from various sources and a portion thereof transmitted to a remote server. The remote server dynamically compiles and processes this data with information from other similar and separate sources and provides useful and relevant information, such as vehicle and location specific road maintenance radar, forecasts and treatment recommendations, and then transmits the data back to the vehicles in the field for one or more of the appropriate deployment of equipment, instructions and the automated or manual application of materials.
