| 摘要： | Increased travel demand on the winter/alpine roads of the western USA has resulted in a dramatic increase in the hazard from snow avalanches to motorists and maintenance personnel. The objective of this investigation was to demonstrate, evaluate, and operationally integrate an avalanche control delivery system that can improve all-weather explosive delivery efficiency and cost-effectiveness for the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) avalanche control program in Teton Pass in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. To meet these objectives, an emerging European technology in automated operable cache storage and mortar delivery system, the Doppelmayr Avalanche Guard was deployed on Teton Pass. In addition, the objective was to investigate if the Avalanche Guard was a reliable, robust, and operational viable alternative (or additional) method for delivering avalanche control explosives to avalanche starting zones in all-weather conditions for state DOT avalanche control programs on the winter alpine roads of the western U.S. The specific tasks associated with this investigation included: (1) site planning for both Teton Pass and Hoback Canyon; (2) Avalanche Guard installation, training test firing, and operational loading, and integrating, and (3) evaluation of system performance and operational integration, as well as lessons learned. |
