摘要: |
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is sponsoring an anti-icing test and evaluation project in 15 states with significant winter maintenance programs. Anti-icing is a winter maintenance process that involves applying chemicals that lower the freezing point of water to prevent a strong bond from forming between snow and the pavement surface. This article describes FHWA's field testing and the results to date. After 1 year, the states confirmed that safe driving conditions can be maintained with less materials; however, effective anti-icing operations require better weather information systems, improved materials and material spreaders, and additional crew training. This study is a continuation of an anti-icing study initiated under the Strategic Highway Research Program. |
