Abstract:

This report summarizes the results of a research task that was conducted to analyze Ohio DOT’s use of liquid deicing materials and the tracking capabilities of its snowplows’ distribution systems. The objective of the task was to identify areas for improvement in terms of tracking the liquid application rates and provide ideas on how to evaluate new technologies that may improve tracking. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive audit of Ohio’s current state of the practice was conducted. Areas for improvement were identified and constraints were noted. In addition, a nationwide survey was distributed; the survey served as a metric to compare Ohio’s state of the practice as well as providing leads for new technologies to investigate. Then, vendors were solicited for information about liquid tracking systems that could fit into Ohio’s infrastructure and offer the enhancements Ohio was seeking. Brief research was done on each of these new technologies. Lastly, an evaluation matrix was developed so ODOT can continue pursuing these options. The evaluation matrix lists criteria that should be examined as well as specific elements within each criteria. It also proposes ideas on how to practically evaluate or measure each criteria element. ODOT can use the information presented in this report to select new liquid tracking technologies to test within their research program, and continue working towards optimizing their response to winter weather.
