Abstract:

This paper discusses the need for an effective ice detection system for bridges, and outlines an early evaluation program that has led to the selection of a spot ice detector for further testing. This small detector is installed flush with the surface of a pavement and, with its associated electronics package, is capable of transmitting surface conditions to a remote location over a telephone or radio link. The advantages of an area ice detector are discussed and results to date in the development of a microwave radiometer for detection of surface condition are presented. /Author/
