Interest in the use of prewetting systems for the application of snow-and-ice-control materials is growing within the United States. This interest has been facilitated by activities in the Strategic Highway Research Program, the cooperative efforts between the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Scandinavian countries, the Federal Highway Administration study on anti-icing technology, and recent travel by U.S. maintenance engineers to Europe and Japan. Prewetting of snow-and-ice-control materials may be an important element in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of snow-and-ice-control processes. However, there is a need to evaluate the operational and economic impacts of prewetting systems on winter road maintenance activities. Once evaluated, prewetting systems for snow-and-ice-control materials could become an effective tool in a roadway agency's winter maintenance operation.
