摘要：	This report covers Phase Two (b) of a long-term in-house advanced vehicle research program of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and its Arizona Transportation Center (ATRC). The focus of the research evolved early to winter maintenance topics. Phase Two (b) this fourth year of the program addresses the 2001-02 winter season. ADOT's Phase One snowplow research (1997-2000) was a joint effort with California to field test the Caltrans advanced snowplow (ASP) in Arizona conditions. ADOT crews evaluated the Caltrans ASP lane-guidance system in four-week test cycles for two consecutive winters at a six-mile test loop of embedded roadway magnets near Flagstaff. ADOT's key goal in Phase Two (2000-01) was to acquire and test its own snowplow driver-assistance system. ADOT procured a 3M Lane Awareness System, with 5 miles of 3M magnetic striping tape to develop a second field site. Testing also continued with Caltrans to compare both lane guidance systems in similar conditions; however, system problems with both concept snowplows severely reduced the ability of ADOT and its partners to effectively evaluate either concept. In this current Phase Two (b), the 2001-02 winter, ADOT's testing and evaluation could proceed as the system problems of the previous winter had been resolved.
