"This synthesis report will be of interest to transportation agency maintenance engineers, managers, and operators and others involved with roadway snow and ice control including safety engineers, traffic engineers, and law enforcement agency personnel. It presents information on the state of the practice in managing roadway snow and ice control considering both rural and urban locations. The document describes the developments that have occurred during the past 20 years to improve winter maintenance. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses winter maintenance policies and provides examples for state, city, and county agencies. Included in the discussion of winter maintenance policies are issues such as: levels of service, public relations, liability for services, and experimenting with new policies. Additional information is included on estimating winter maintenance benefits and costs; personnel and management issues; weather information systems; and materials, equipment, and facilities for winter maintenance."--Avant-propos.

Information is presented on the cost of snow removal. In small urban areas the cost ranges from 5 to 30 cents per ton; in larger urban areas from 30 cents to 1 dollar per ton or 10 or 35 cents per cu. yd. The annual average cost in Canada per mile of street is between 500 and 1,000 dollars. For the City of Montreal it is between 6,000 and 7,000 dollars. It is estimated that snow removal from highways costs from 2 to 36 cents per ton. The direct cost of snow removal and ice control in Canada is estimated to be between 60 and 110 million dollars per year. Trends indicate that by 1980 it will be between 2 and 10 dollars per capita. We can anticipate improvement in our ability to remove and dispose of snow and ice, but not a reduction in cost. It is emphasized that the key to minimizing costs is proper organization, planning, training of men, and control of operations. Attention is drawn to the increased use of chemicals for ice control, and to the damage that may be associated with their use. The need for close co-operation between snow removal organizations and the Meteorological Service is mentioned, as well as a manual on snow removal in urban areas that is being prepared. (Author).

The objective of the symposium was to provide a forum for the exchange of information about state-of-the-art research and technology applications to improve snow removal and ice control operations in transportation systems. Sixty-one papers were presented in the areas of policy and management, infrastructure and snow control, materials and applications, equipment, travel surface, environment and health, road weather information systems and forecasting, and safety and visibility. Papers were authored by maintenance engineers and researchers from Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Twenty-one of these papers are included in this publication.
