Minnesota Department of Transportation Mobile Observation

These data files were obtained from Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) under the Integrated Mobile Observation (IMO) contract. The instrumented vehicles include snowplows (made by Sterling and International) and light-duty pickups (made by Ford). The snowplows travel pre-determined routes in 12-hour shifts during winter-weather events, carrying out winter-maintenance activities appropriate for the event and MnDOT rules of practice (snow-plowing, applying chemicals, etc.). The light-duty vehicles travel throughout the state. Data from May 2013 onward is included. The files include VaiX records, DjX records, CanX records, ObdY records, vehicle location and status and store-and-forward messages.
