摘要：	The California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) fleet of sand and salt spreading machines utilizes dated technology to handle a task that is both material intensive and important from a traveler safety standpoint. This study involved an engineering assessment of the Epoke Sirius Combi 4900 spreader (Epoke), which is being considered as a replacement for the existing fleet of salt and sand spreading equipment. The Epoke spreader and a conventional Caltrans fleet V-Box spreader were tested side-by-side to assess the improvements from one generation of equipment to another. The results of this research were positive, and Caltrans is moving to update the fleet with more modern equipment such as the Epoke Sirius Combi 4900 spreader.
