On Highways and Roads

Spread better
to spread less

The problem of ice on the roads is considered one of the main aspects of traffic control strategies: economical costs, safety costs and environmental costs are considerable.
The main objective is to predict on time the formation of ice on roads so that we are able to decide for the right type of intervention and to allow its effectiveness. The indiscriminate salt spreading on roads defeats the purpose because it involves an over salt usage, increasing annual costs; increases the corrosion level of the infrastructure; increases the corrosion level of the vehicles in transit.

These key factors emphasize the importance of skilled intervention, to ensure the right resource management strategy in preventing ice formation. 
To ensure safe winter maintenance the analysis of the following aspects has to be considered: operation optimization of preventive/curative treatment and operative resources management. The operations optimization is required to achieve maximum treatment efficiency by making use of the lowest quantity of thawing material (salt).
