Winter Maintenance & Effects Completed Projects

• RoadView™ Needs Assessment and Cost/Benefit Analysis

  The objective is to determine the type and Magnitude of Challenges faced while clearing rural roadways of snow and ice during winter.

• Impacts of Airport Pavement Deicing Products on Aircraft & Airfield Infrastructure

  The objectives of this synthesis are to report how airports chemically treat their airfield pavements to mitigate snow and ice, and what chemicals are used; to review damage reported to aircraft components and airfield infrastructure in association with the use of traditional or modern pavement deicing products (PDPs); and to identify critical knowledge gaps on these subjects.

• #SAFE

  Evaluation the effective of the #SAFE system, a cellular based Advanced Transportation Weather Information System (ATWIS) technology.

• Feasibility of Applying CT Technology to the Investigation of Highway Icing

  To investigate the applicability of Computed Tomography (CT) technology in the study of highway icing.

• Development of Standardized Test Procedures for Evaluating Deicing Compounds

  The objective of the proposed research is to develop and/or identify a series of standard laboratory testing procedures and ranges that can be used to evaluate the performance of deicing chemicals, additives and mixtures used on roadways and other transportation facilities.
