The Iowa Department of Transportation recently began installing a snowplow guidance system following a season of testing that provides more precise by-the-inch vehicle positioning within pre-mapped roadway lane dimensions.
In a blog post, Iowa DOT said that guidance system – originally engineered by manufacturer John Deere for its tractor and motor grader products – provides its snowplow operators with real-time visualization and navigation of road boundaries, especially in challenging low-visibility conditions.
