Title: WINTER MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY AND PRACTICES--LEARNING FROM ABROAD
Accession Number: 00716796
Record Type: Monograph
Abstract: An International Winter Maintenance Technology Scanning Tour was organized jointly under the auspices of the Federal Highway Administration's International Outreach Program and the AASHTO-sponsored National Cooperative Highway Research Program to examine snow and ice control operations in Japan and Europe for technology with potential for domestic application. The scanning team travelled to Japan and Europe in March 1994 and discovered important differences in snow removal equipment, anti-icing/deicing materials and methods, weather monitoring, winter hazard mitigation, and road user information services. Also, the team discovered important differences in the public perception and responsibility for participation in snow removal operations, the methods employed for financing winter maintenance operations, and the cooperation between public agencies and private enterprise in research and development efforts. This Digest presents the findings and recommendations of the scanning team.
