Best Practices for Road Weather Management Version 2.0

Title:

Snow & Ice Databook: Edition 2010

Abstract:

The Snow and Ice Data Book was first published in conjunction with the XIth International Winter Road Congress in 2002 and contained information from 15 countries. This book was a valuable tool to support the exchange of experiences between international experts. The Technical Committee 3.4 on Winter Maintenance prepared this update for the XIIth International Winter Road Congress in 2010. Included are more countries and greater consistency in the information presented from country to country. The Snow and Ice Data Book Edition 2010 published by PIARC is again a precious tool to support knowledge transfer between international experts as it includes the whole scope of topics related to today's winter maintenance. New themes have also been added on economic and environmental issues, public-private road partnerships, training, road user needs and emerging technologies.
