摘要

The 4th National Conference on Surface Transportation Weather was held on June 1617, 2008, and the 7th International Symposium on Snow and Ice Control on June 1719, 2008, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The conference was conducted by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Task Force on Surface Transportation Weather, and the symposium, by the Winter Maintenance Committee, in cooperation with Indiana Department of Transportation, AASHTO, and FHWA. This conference and symposium included papers and presentations on the application of weather information in transportation agencies; snowplow operations; maintenance decision support systems; modeling and forecasting weather in surface transportation; data collection and assessing technologies; impact of weather on traffic operations; weather information for drivers; environmental stewardship; blowing snow; pavement surface temperature; surface friction measurement; and characteristics of materials. Maintenance managers, engineers, and researchers from the following countries presented their papers: Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. The papers were not subjected to the TRB peer review process.
