Sixth International Symposium on Snow Removal and Ice Control Technology (June 7-9, 2004). Transportation Research Circular, Number E-C131

摘要

The Sixth International Symposium on Snow Removal and Ice Control Technology was held in Spokane, Washington, on June 7-9, 2004. The symposium was conducted by the Transportation Research Board Committee on Winter Maintenance in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Transportation, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the Federal Highway Administration. The objective of the Symposium was to provide a forum for the exchange of information about the state of the art and the state of the practice in research and technology applications to improve snow removal and ice control operations in transportation systems. This symposium included papers and presentations on winter weather (information, models, and data quality); winter maintenance (policy, management, and performance); customers' perspectives on winter operations; environmental stewardship; winter maintenance vehicle advancements; bridge support systems; winter pavement temperatures and road conditions; material distribution, performance and residual; and, large-volume snow control. Maintenance managers, engineers, and researchers from the following countries presented their papers: Canada, Denmark, Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The papers have not been subjected to the TRB peer review process.
