District of Muskoka Plows Through Record Winter with Esri Canada AVL Solution

August 18, 2014

Organization: District of Muskoka
Industry: Government, Public Works
Products: Esri Canada AVL

After evaluating its existing maintenance vehicle management system, the District of Muskoka (Muskoka) identified the benefits of adopting a GIS-based system. In the fall of 2013, Muskoka implemented Esri Canada’s Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) solution. With record-breaking snowfalls burying the region the following winter, their decision to upgrade was timely. The AVL solution provided supervisors with a steady stream of up-to-the-minute updates of its winter maintenance vehicle fleet using a dynamic map. This allowed Muskoka to identify priority routes and make necessary routing adjustments with greater efficiency.
