Report on the 1998 Scanning Review of European Winter Service Technology (1998)

Summary: This digest describes the findings of the 1998 International Scanning Review of European Winter Service Technology organized jointly under the auspices of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) International Outreach Program and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) through the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP). The review was undertaken to examine several Japanese and European technologies for winter maintenance originally identified by the 1994 International Winter Maintenance Technology Scanning Review as prime candidates for further, detailed investigation, viz, new sensor developments, integration of winter service road condition in IVHS technology, and pavement anti-icing and deicing systems.
