Title:

Report on the 1998 Scanning Review of European Winter Service Technology

Abstract:

This digest summarizes the findings of an international technology scanning review conducted with the support of NCHRP Project 20-36, "Highway Research and Technology--International Information Sharing". The review was undertaken to examine several Japanese and European technologies for winter maintenance originally identified by the 1994 International Winter Maintenance Technology Scanning Review as prime candidates for further detailed investigation, viz, new sensor developments, integration of winter service road condition in ITS technology, and pavement anti-icing and deicing systems.
