Rolling Resistance Measurements on Cycleways Using an Instrumented Bicycle
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Snow and ice on roads often lead to increased rolling resistance that makes roads less accessible and less attractive for cyclists. Introducing a minimum requirement for rolling resistance in winter maintenance of cycleways ...
Influence of Microstructure on the Consolidation of Compressed Snow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Snow falling on roads is rapidly compacted into a hard crust which is difficult to remove, and which may become slippery at temperatures near melting. To avoid this, chemicals are often spread in a measure called anticompaction ...
Influence of NaCl Aqueous Solution on Compacted Snow: Field Investigation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Slippery road surfaces are a threat to traffic safety, especially in winter when snow falling on roads forms a hard crust that is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this hard crust formation, salt is applied to ...
Effect of Anti-Icing Chemicals during Hoar Frost Situations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Anti-icing chemicals are used during hoar frost situations to avoid slippery road conditions. During hoar frost situations, humidity is transported from the air to the road surface. This leads to continuous dilution of the ...
Experimental Setup Simulating Hoarfrost Formation on Roadways
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hoarfrost on roadways and bridges can cause slippery and dangerous conditions for motorists. To reduce the costs and environmental impact of countermeasures, road authorities wish to optimize their winter maintenance ...
