Comparative Analysis of Performance of Different De-Icing Materials

Canada’s Code of Practice for Environmental Management of Road Salts assists road agencies to use road salt effectively. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is addressing the Code in part by evaluating and implementing improved salting practices. Recent efforts developed methodologies to compare the relative performance of dry salt, pre-wetted salt, and pre-treated salt under operational conditions during winter storms. Relative performance of these application practices was measured on the road using mobile and fixed technologies. The data were integrated with highway maintenance, weather and traffic data and analysed graphically and statistically to compare the effectiveness of the applied treatments with a view to recommending application rates with comparable performance.
