• The inventory management module allow, among others, to enter information about events of snow accumulation, removal and meltdown. The system performs a complete update of the data according to new information received (calculation of the width of snowbanks).
• The analysis module allows the user to make queries on the data in order to determine, for example, the critical zones (excessive amount of snow) within all road-sections of the city. The result of an analysis query can be graphically viewed and sent to the printer.
• The generation of routes is carried out automatically, taking into account the:
  • type of route (plowing, removal, etc.);
  • analysis result (critical zone, dead ends, etc.);
  • specific criteria for the desired route (maximum distance, width of the machinery, etc.).
  The user can also generate routes semi-automatically, with the help of the system that will show the inconsistencies (driving in the opposite direction of a one-way street, illegal turns, etc.). The routes created may be modified with the help of editing tools. The printout of a route generates a graphic report showing a global view of the route and a descriptive report indicating the streets to follow and the turns to take.
• The route management application is not limited to snow removal routes. Routes for street washing, spreading of abrasives and sidewalk snow removal are some of the many possible uses of GEO-ROUTE.
