Road Weather Information Systems: Implementation guide
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
The Strategic Highway Research Program sponsored research into the use of road weather information systems (RWIS) for highway snow and ice control. The research indicated that the use of RWIS technologies can improve the efficiency and effectiveness as well as reduce the costs of highway winter maintenance practices. Volume 2, the implementation guide supplements Volume 1, the research report, which documents the research.

Gravel Roads
Author: Ken SkorsethPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Gravel roads
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
