The industry is changing 

Winter operations are shifting from experience-based decisions to data-driven, automated workflows. Tight budgets, sustainability targets for salt reduction, and staffing challenges all demand smarter tools. With connected sensors, high-resolution forecasts, and live feedback from the road network, the way we plan, dose, verify, and learn is transformingfrom reactive to proactive, and from manual routines to dynamic and adaptive operations. RSI is built for this change: one place to see risk, act with confidence, and prove outcomes across your network. 


With RSI you can:

Help decision-makers and drivers

with clear, segment-level guidance and timely recommendations. 

Use resources efficiently

(salt, time, fuel) through targeted, data-driven actions and precise timing.
 

Unlock the full sustainability potential

less salt, lower CO₂, cleaner runoff, and better working conditions for employees (fewer emergency call-outs, safer shifts, clearer plans).

RSI for Decision-Making 

What it is 
Your single source of truth for winter operations. Operators, supervisors, and duty managers use RSI to see live conditions, understand upcoming risk, and align decisions across teams. 

What it includes 

  • Road Weather Segmented Forecasts: hyperlocal, per-segment outlooks (surface state/temperature, freezing risk, precip type & timing) that reflect micro-climate, elevation, exposure, and material. 
  • Live nowcast & forecast views to spot where and when risks will emerge 
  • Integrated stationary & virtual sensors for context you can trust 
  • Recommended treatment actions based on science—not gut feeling 
  • Performed activities and follow-up analytics (e.g., quality KPIs) for continuous improvement 

Benefits 

  • Faster, consistent decisions across crews and shifts 
  • Pinpoint risk awareness by segment with RWSF—fewer blanket treatments 
  • Lower onboarding time with a shared, visual playbook 
  • Better follow-up & reporting for audits and learning loops 

Who it’s relevant for 

  • Municipalities, regional & national road owners 
  • Contractors and service providers 
  • Control rooms, on-call managers, supervisors, and planners 

RSI for Dynamic Salting 

What it is 
Decision support tuned for dynamic spreading—matching dosage and timing to the local risk on each segment so you maintain safety while using fewer resources. 

What it enables 

  • Road Weather Segmented Forecasts (RWSF): segment/time-window forecasts that feed condition-aware dosage per route 
  • Clear “when, where, how much” guidance to reduce over- and under-treatment 
  • Seamless workflow with modern spreaders and digital treatment logs 

Benefits 

  • Less salt, same (or better) safety through targeted application 
  • Higher confidence on borderline events, bridge decks, and refreeze scenarios 
  • Documented efficiency for KPIs and performance-based contracts 

Who it’s relevant for 

  • Contractors seeking a competitive edge in tenders 
  • Road owners targeting sustainability & TCO improvements 
  • Fleets upgrading to dynamic spreading and better compliance 

RSI for Adaptive Salting 

What it is 
Next-level operations that adapt during the event. RSI brings together forecast, measurements (RWIS, connected vehicles), and performed actions so you can adjust routes and dosage in real time as conditions evolve. 

What it enables 

  • Road Weather Segmented Forecasts (RWSF): continuous segment-level updates that drive closed-loopadjustments mid-event 
  • Effect verification (did the treatment work?) and rapid retuning of plans 
  • Micro-climate awareness (shaded cuts, bridges, lakesides) and network-wide oversight 

Benefits 

  • Maximum safety with minimal waste—dose where it matters most, when it matters 
  • Fewer callbacks, better night-time efficiency, and smoother handovers 
  • Continuous learning that improves each operation and season 

Who it’s relevant for 

  • Mature organizations moving from dynamic to adaptive tactics 
  • Regions with complex micro-climates and high service-level demands 
  • Owners/operators measured on sustainability and verified outcomes
