Abstract: This study has attempted to address a challenging problem in winter road maintenance, namely road surface condition (RSC) forecasting. A novel conceptual framework for short-term road surface condition forecasting is ...

Abstract: The use of probe vehicles to provide estimates of link travel times has been suggested as a means of obtaining travel times within signalized networks for use in advanced travel information systems. Past research in the ...

Abstract: In recent decades, road weather information systems (RWISs) have gained in popularity with road maintenance authorities. However, RWIS stations only provide point measurements that are often unrepresentative of distant ...

Abstract: Pedestrian safety on parking lots and sidewalks is a main concern under adverse winter conditions because of the reduced friction level caused by snow and ice contaminations. Although there is an intuitive understanding ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study aimed at developing zonal-specific semivariograms for zones with different climates using regionalized random variables for a strategic road weather information system (RWIS) network implementation ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an extensive field study of the comparative deicing performance of conventional dry road salt and prewetted road salt for the snow and ice control of transportation facilities. Approximately ...

Abstract: Limited field investigations have evaluated the impact of traffic on the snow melting capacity of salts. This paper will describe an extensive field study that includes 1,200 tests that are conducted during 100 snow events ...
