Conventional winter maintenance involves a fleet of plow trucks and dispensers that clear away snow from the road surfaces and spray deicing chemicals. These winter maintenance vehicles are needed on bridges, inclines, intersections, and expressways, but heavy traffic frequently obstructs the procession of maintenance and emergency vehicles. Consequently, the number and length of traffic hold-up hours are increasing. To avoid these traffic obstructions and delayed maintenance, deicing chemicals are applied in the early stages long before any snow event, causing an excessive consumption of those chemicals. As demonstrated in previous studies, popular chloride-based deicing chemicals such as calcium chloride (CaCl2), sodium chloride (NaCl),and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) induce accelerated erosion and corrosion in road infrastructure and damaging effects on nearby eco-system. The outcomes of this study will provide state engineers and policy makers with evaluation tools and guidelines so that well informed decisions are made for environmentally safe snow removal and deicing operations on roads.
