Analysis of Data and Development of Journal Paper - Trafficking Machine and Friction Data
This research evaluated seven commercial rock salt deicers to assess if a custom-built trafficking machine and non-contact grip sensor can be used to detect differences in performance between deicers. Deicer performance was measured as mean surface grip values during trafficking and after plowing. Mean surface grip values were compared and analyzed based on deicer type, application rate, air temperature, and snow density.
