SNOW REMOVAL AND ICE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY ON SWISS HIGHWAYS

Ulrich Schlup

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Winter road maintenance in Switzerland is vital because of the alpine nature of the country. The basic requirement of winter maintenance is to maintain the highway capacity and the safety of the roads without harming the environment. A successful program begins with a well-trained staff; it also depends on meteorology; road sensors; equipment for removing snow, spreading salt, and controlling ice; maintenance centers; and economic operation.
