Abstract:

The concluding session devoted time to a discussion of research needed over the next ten years to improve present capability for removing snow and ice from highways and for ensuring an all-weather capability for guideway systems, communication facilities, and aircraft and their ground facilities. The session included discussion of methods of improving the coefficient of friction between tires and the winter surface. To this end, it was recommended that research be directed to improve tire design and materials, and the work done by Caltrans showing that graphite fiber tire additives significantly increase the friction coefficient was cited. Also, it was recommendd that research be continued toward development of physical and non-chloride chemical approaches to snow removal and ice disbonding, and the operational procedures required to integrate new materials and techniques into an effective, cost-saving system.
