Title:
Description and Verification of a Road Ice Prediction Model
Abstract:
The IceBreak model is described in its physical bases. The model is verified and compared with the U.K. Meteorological Office model using roadside inputs of winter 1990-1991 at 11 sites in the United Kingdom. The results show that the IceBreak model has a near-zero bias and about one degree C standard deviation in overall and minimum temperature predictions. It provides improved accuracy in road ice prediction.
