CORRELATIONS BETWEEN ROAD-SALT-USE AND WINTER INTENSITY. THIRD INTERNATIONAL ROAD WEATHER CONFERENCE, TAMPERE, FINLAND, 24TH FEBRUARY 1986

The actual guidelines for today's road winter maintenance requires a high degree of traffic safety and also the need to avoid any harm to the environment by cutting down the use of thawing agents as much as possible. The paper shows the investigations, done so far, to find a correlation between salt use and meteorological parameters, whereby the solution of the problem is approached by a thorough analysis of everyday practice of winter maintenance in various road authority stations in the state of bavaria. Moreover a statistical evaluation of data collected in all road authority stations over a long period of time is still under way. (TRRL)
