River Ice Measurements for Transportation Safety in Rural Communities |
摘要: |
This project is relevant to the cold areas of Federal Region 10 where
transportation routes can occur on frozen surface of lakes and rivers.
While they exist, these types of winter roads are often the only
opportunity for rural Alaskan communities to connect to the state
highway system and satisfy community supply needs. The goal of this
project is to identify a set of river ice measurements to be used by rural
communities to monitor river ice conditions for safe winter travel.
The research team will work with the city of Tanana, a rural Alaskan community that
depends on a winter ice road across the Yukon River to connect to the
Alaska Highway system. In the course of preparing this proposal, the PI
contacted the Tanana City Manager, who is supportive of the river ice
study. He also mentioned that the community has already encountered
problems with vehicles sinking through the river ice during the ice road
construction. |
