BETTER WINTER MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT
This article highlights areas of discussion from the Sixth International Symposium on Snow Removal and Ice Control Technology. It reports on the Winter Road Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) Project in which field tests demonstrated how program modules were used to forecast weather and road conditions and determine the best road treatments. These included the timing of treatments, the types of treatments, and the amount of chemicals involved in the treatments. Another study that was described involved the use of computer models to determine materials and strategies for snow and ice control for various climates, road types, and traffic conditions. The article also discusses automated anti-icing systems and winter-maintenance environmental issues revolving around the use of salt in deicing treatments.
