摘要：	Removal of ice and snow from road surfaces is a critical task in the northern tier of the United States, including Illinois. Highways with high levels of traffic are expected to be cleared of snow and ice quickly after each snow storm. This is necessary for maintaining the safety of the public and the efficiency of the highway system. In 2011, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) initiated a research project to conduct a comprehensive study to evaluate the performance of snow and ice plows. The project targeted several plow performance indicators including blade type, scraping forces, and shock acceleration, among other suggested parameters. The project involved a literature review, a synthesis of best practices in snow and ice plowing operations, development of a plow and blade performance evaluation procedure, instrumentation of a snow plow and the carrying out of field tests, development of finite element models to synthesize a comprehensive performance database, and documentation of project results.
