Street Cleaning and Winter Services

Industry solution: street cleaning

Street sweeping is done to keep the streets clean and thereby ensuring navigability and accessibility of the road infrastructure of cities and municipalities. Roads are often classified according to the volume of traffic, type of road, building and pollution. For cleaning there is usually a mix of large, medium and small sweepers and manual cleaning teams being used. And street cleaning is also about documenting the work carried out to control and adjust to a customer's account or to the public in general in a transparent way, reacting in a professional manner to possible complaints.

The solution for street cleaning of mm-lab provides you with the following functions:

Create sweeping routes (reference routes) in a geographic information system (GIS) based on a map (street segment-oriented) or simply by driving along one route and post processing the obtained GPS recording with the GIS system.

Definition of cleaning classes on the cleaning route

Allocation of vehicles to the cleaning route
Optional display and guidance of the cleaning route in the vehicle or the work to be performed by hand cleaning teams on a mobile computer.
Recording of the actually driven tour (GPS positions) with recording signals from the vehicle (broom up/down, broom pressure exerted, vacuum motor on/off, suction turbine on/off, etc.)
The immediate transfer of all vehicle data to a central office and the presentation of this data allows operation control for the first time to effectively carry out their monitoring role.
Intervention in the ongoing operations are now possible and allow a flexible response to changing operating conditions such as temporary release of a sweeper in a traffic accident or an event.
Fully automatic creation of tour and cleaning reports from the recorded vehicle positions and data on the basis of street names with the distinction between cleaning actvity and driving time to/from. These reports serve for long-term archiving and possible evidence.
Optionally, the system does the fully automated follow-up of actually driven tours regarding the cleaning routes specified and documents the results in tables (driving reports) or geographical markers of deviations from the reference route.
Display of driven routes in the GIS, map-based (Navteq / Tele Atlas) or OpenStreetMap.
The lanes can either be colored with the vehicle signals (broom up / down, brush pressure turbine on / off etc.). This allows the operational management an effective post-tour or statistical studies regarding optimization potentials.

Industry solution: winter service

As part of ensuring public safety (clearing and obligation to grit) municipalities must preserve local traffic safety on streets, squares and roads in particular during snow or ice conditions. This serves accident prevention and ensuring safe driving and walking.

This task often remains a major challenge for the local government. Effective execution of the scattering routes, competence in use and efficient management with tight financial resources are to be mastered. Without technological assistance, system tasks of this magnitude and complexity can no longer be tackled with due diligence.

The industry solution for winter service of mm-lab provides you with the following functions:

Creation of scattered routes (reference routes) in a geographic information system (GIS) based on a map (street segment-oriented) or simply by driving down once one route and post-processing the resulting GPS data in GIS.
Definition of priorities and of the winter maintenance standard to be carried out on the scattering route.
Assignment of the scattered route to vehicles.
Optional display and guidance of road scattering in the vehicle.
Recording of the actually driven tour (GPS positions) with recording of vehicle signals (using the dozer blade), and of course the scattering settings (volume, width, etc.).
The immediate transfer of all vehicle data to a central office and the presentation of this data allows operation control for the first time to effectively carry out their monitoring role.
Intervention in the ongoing operations are now possible and allow a flexible response to changing weather conditions and the environmental situation. This allows for optimal performance of winter maintenance preventing economic damage by wintery road conditions.
Fully automatic creation of the scattering log book and tour reports based on the recorded vehicle positions and data using street names on which scattering and cleaning has been performed. These reports enable long-term storage and possibly necessary evidence.
Optionally, the system performs the fully automated follow-up of actually driven tours regarding the specified routes and presenting the documented results in tables (scatter point addition) or geographical markers of deviations from the reference route.
Display of driven routes in the GIS based on maps (Navteq / Tele Atlas) or on OpenStreetMap.
The lanes can either be colored with vehicle signals (spreader on / off, plow blade up / down, spread rate). This allows the operational management an effective post-tour or statistical studies regarding optimization potentials.
