To disseminate knowledge of new methods and strategies such as those<br />
developed by the new MINSALT project, the National Road Administration has<br />
conc<strong>en</strong>trated on distributing various types of information to its own operating<br />
organisation. Since there was a need to provide a better decision basis for contractors,<br />
the National Road Administration initiated a project to develop a prototype<br />
for an expert system, VVVEXP. Expert systems or knowledge systems are<br />
computer programs that attempt to solve problems in the same way as a human<br />
expert. The knowledge in the programs consists of rules in a database that have<br />
be<strong>en</strong> id<strong>en</strong>tified and writt<strong>en</strong> down during interviews with experts in the area. Using<br />
an expert system facilitates the choice of the correct and most effective action, and<br />
thereby <strong>en</strong>hances the prospects of reducing salt consumption and reducing the<br />
accid<strong>en</strong>t risk on roads in winter. VVEXP was tested for two winter seasons in two<br />
operating districts and was well received by the users. However, owing to funding<br />
problems, further developm<strong>en</strong>t of VVEXP was discontinued.<br />
There is a need for developm<strong>en</strong>t of a new expert system for winter road maint<strong>en</strong>ance.<br />
