      <title>LOW-FRICTION SNOW PLOW EVALUATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/415084</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Low-friction polymer coatings have been used on snow plows in both highway and airport applications.  The objective of this project was to carry out a cost/benefit analysis on a low-friction coating applied to a mainline railway snow plow.  The assessment was carried out in cooperation with the Canadian national Railway (CN Rail), using two of their snow plows for test purposes.  Due to lack of snow storms and early equipment problems, an analytical model was developed to estimate the importance of friction reduction to fuel consumption and power requirements.  In addition, a qualitative assessment of the benefits of the low-friction coating was made by the plow crews. After two winters of service, the coating to the body surfaces had not visibly deteriorated.  the plow face did have several spots where the coating had been abrasively removed.  They were generally near the top of the plow face.  The analysis inidicates that the minimum plowing speed can be substantially reduced by lowering the coefficient of friction.  This could mean the difference between success and failure in plowing some tight, heavily laden snow plows do not meet a hurdle level return on investment of 15%.  Fuel savings are estimated to be minimal and the labour savings offer about an 11% return on investment under the better of two scenarios.  However, the indirect benefits of reduced train delays would only have to be in the range of $250 to $300 annually to provide a 15% real return on investment for this scenario.  (A)]]></description>
