摘要: Windows and mirrors on snowplow trucks often become covered with snow, ice, fog and frost during winter storms, obscuring the operators' field of vision and raising safety concerns. The Clear Roads winter maintenance pooled fund research program sought to address these problems through this research project. The objective was to compile the most effective designs, technologies, materials and practices for keeping snowplow glass and mirror surfaces clean of winter precipitation inside and out. To gather information for this synthesis, the researchers completed a literature search of existing research, phone interviews with winter maintenance professionals, and two Web-based surveys. More than 200 winter maintenance professionals from 30 states and five foreign countries responded to the surveys. The study identified a number of strategies that agencies across the country have used to address icing and fogging problems and recommended opportunities for additional research and product testing by state agencies. / NOTE:Final rept.
