New technologies will make winter less harsh

Roads must become infrastructure that, in addition to guaranteeing the necessary technical characteristics functional to transport, are also the place where a series of new services and processes can occur(services based on new technologies – V2X and new equipped vehicles).

During the 2021-2022 winter season, Bucher Municipal and Anas S.p.A. will be testing new solutions along the SS51 Alemagna road in Cortina (Veneto), where vehicles will be equipped with Bucher spreaders equipped with Assist, the new fleet management platform for bidirectional satellite monitoring and automation
of the winter fleet.

What is Bucher Assist?

Designed to allow two-way exchange of data between equipment and the cloud portal, it can be used remotely on different digital devices. The installation of the system allows, through man-machine interaction, to reduce operating costs and management costs, environmental impact and the workload of winter service operators, while increasing safety.

Among its many features there is the integration of the latest generation of weather sensors that analyse road conditions in real time, thus providing the system with the parameters to establish the right dosage and to divide the area to be treated into homogeneous areas according to conditions.

Bucher Assist increases performance

Thanks to the automation of Assist on spreading parameters, operators say they feel safer driving because they no longer have to worry about selecting the amount of salt spread and the asymmetry of the disc.

Tests have shown that the amount of salt is drastically reduced during snowfall by up to almost 50% with positive consequences in terms of safety, cost control and environmental impact.
