摘要: |
A methodology is described whereby the ice scraping performance of cutting edges as a function of their geometry has been measured, first in the laboratory, then in controlled (closed road) field tests, and finally in a limited field deployment. The results of this study have been very promising. However, as important as the specific results have been, perhaps equally as important has been the development of a methodology whereby promising research ideas can be taken from the lab to the field as rapidly (with due care) as possible. Such a rapid research and development methodology can be applied to a number of winter maintenance activities and, no doubt, to other areas as well. |
