Monitoring road conditions and prioritizing and/or requesting real-time repair work performed, such as weather-related repair work to address “fixable conditions.” Some embodiments perform the following actions (not necessarily in the following order): (i) monitoring machines connected in data communication to a communication network, covering multiple roads, in a common local area (such as a city), respectively for a “fixable condition”; (ii) detecting multiple fixable conditions on the multiple roads; and (iii) creating, by machine logic and based in part on the detected fixable conditions, an initial prioritized schedule for application of road maintenance resources to the roads.
