Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first and only comprehensive guide to best practices in winter road operations Winter maintenance operations are essential to ensure the safety, mobility, and productivity of transportation systems, especially in cold-weather climates, and responsible agencies are continually challenged to provide a high level of service in a fiscally and environmentally responsible manner. Sustainable Winter Road Operations bridges the knowledge gaps, providing the first up-to-date, authoritative, single-source overview and guide to best practices in winter road operations that considers the triple bottom line of sustainability. With contributions from experts in the field from around the world, this book takes a holistic approach to the subject. The authors address the many negative impacts on regional economies and the environment of poorly planned and inadequate winter road operations, and they make a strong case for the myriad benefits of environmentally sustainable concepts and practices. Best practice applications of materials, processes, equipment, and associated technologies and how they can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of winter operations, optimize materials usage, and minimize cost, corrosion, and environmental impacts are all covered in depth. Provides the first up-to-date, authoritative and comprehensive overview of best practices in sustainable winter road operations currently in use around the world Covers materials, processes, equipment, and associated technologies for sustainable winter road operations Brings together contributions by an international all-star team of experts with extensive experience in designing, implementing, and managing sustainable winter road operations Designed to bring professionals involved in transportation and highway maintenance and control up to speed with current best practice Sustainable Winter Road Operations is essential reading for maintenance professionals dealing with snow and ice control operations on highways, motorways and local roads.

This book was released on 1962 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A well-organized and prepared maintenance department, armed with chemicals, abrasives, machines, men and a plan based on valuable experience, can prevent delays and provide maximum utilization of the vast highway transportation investment. The prevention or prompt correction of the slippery road as a driving hazard is the established winter maintenance policy on most primary routes and many local roads. Skid prevention at danger areas is a minimum requirement for lower traffic volume routes. This publication has been prepared in the interest of maximum safety and service to the motorist on all highways affected by snow and ice. Its use will be of value to new as well as experienced personnel of all maintenance organizations.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract:Managing winter roadway treatment can be a challenge where winter is not severe, but snowfall is experienced a few times a year. Winter weather makes the road dangerous and challenging to travel. Most US states have approached and implemented different winter road maintenance practices to make transportation of goods, services, and people uninterrupted. However, the state of Georgia has always struggled to deal with winter weather. Recently, there has been some progress. The Georgia Department of Transportation prepared a winter road treatment plan in 2019, and they are still working on improving it. Increasing emphasis on pre-treating the road rather than relying heavily on snow plowing and other post-treatment is the current trend in winter road maintenance. Pre-treatment reduces chemical use and has several other benefits. In this research, a pre-treatment requirement model was developed to calculate the amount of brine required to melt different snow and ice amounts. In the last three years, Georgia faced a few snow events; three were selected for analysis using the developed model. The study revealed that adjusting the pre-treatment amount at smaller snow events can eliminate the need for post-treatment. The model suggests that different parts of a route require different amounts of pre-treatment. The application of the brine amount can be adjusted based on snow accumulation prediction by the model. The model sensitivity analysis showed that more snow is accumulated at lower temperatures, and the effectiveness of brine in melting snow diminishes. Higher wind speed increases snowmelt resulting in lowered brine application requirements. The decision-making tool can optimize the amount of brine used by suggesting location and pre-treatment amount. The output of the model can be used in better decision making on winter road pre-treatment.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In countries like Canada, driving conditions can be significantly deteriorated by adverse winter weather conditions, such as ice and snow storms. To reduce the negative effects caused by inclement winter weather conditions, winter road maintenance (WRM) services are implemented by transportation agencies to restore road surfaces to bare conditions and provide safer driving conditions. WRM operations are commonly guided by a set of level of service (LOS) standards that specify the minimum level of service to be achieved for the different classes of highways. Higher highway classes receive higher levels of WRM service. However, WRM activities are costly, incurring both significant monetary costs and negative environmental effects. This research was motivated by the introduction of a new highway class - Urban Freeways (UFW) - in the province of Ontario's highway classification system for winter road maintenance. UFWs include highways with winter average daily traffic volumes greater than 100,000 vehicle/day; they receive the highest WRM level of service. The substantial direct and indirect costs associated with winter road maintenance have stimulated strong interest in quantifying the safety and mobility benefits of upgrading level of service to the new UFW class. This research presents the findings from a field study aimed at comparing the winter road maintenance performance of alternative maintenance standards, and their impacts on safety and mobility. The new UFW class was introduced as a pilot study on four highway sections located in Central and Eastern Ontario, in the 2018-2019 winter season. A statistical analysis of the field test data found that bare pavement regain time was reduced by 40%, while salt usage increased by 139%, after implementing the upgraded winter road maintenance standard. A subsequent analysis was conducted to estimate the expected safety and mobility benefits due to the upgrading of the service standard, providing the critical information needed to make a decision on formal adoption of this new standard in future winter seasons. The analysis results conclude that highways with more severe weather conditions are iv expected to obtain more safety and mobility benefits. Moreover, traffic exposure is the decisive factor of the safety and mobility benefits gained from implementing the new UFW class when highway sections are having similar weather conditions. The monetized safety and mobility benefits, in combination with the additional costs of implementing the Urban Freeway class, could also be used to determine the optimal winter average traffic volume threshold for the Urban Freeway class. While the findings and conclusions of this thesis are only relevant to the study area where the tests were conducted, the underlying methodology can be applied by other jurisdictions that are facing the same problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winter snow storms could cause serious disruptions to traffic and transportation. Because resources for winter road maintenance, such as snow removal trucks, are limited, using them properly would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the winter maintenance work. However, a fixed resource allocation plan among service regions may not work well in several situations because of different types and intensity of winter storms. Therefore, reallocation of resources among service regions is often needed. The objective of this research is to develop a resource reallocation model that minimizes the total cost of reallocation operations and provides equitable resources to service regions. Road and weather condition factors, such as road classes, weather forecasts, and service levels, are taken into account in the model.
