Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Cofiroute's Technical Services and Operations Department started an in-depth study of winter maintenance in 1996 because it was faced with increasing demand from motorists for uninterrupted mobility in all winter conditions. The study covers the following issues: (1) General organization of winter road management; (2) Tailoring of equipment resources; (3) Road surface treatment methods; (4) Behavior of different deicing agents on different pavement surfaces; and (4) Definition of the target winter service level. This article reviews the main evolutions implemented over the last 5 years, notably with regards to equipment and organization.
