Snow and ice control is a critical maintenance operation for New York State: each winter, up to 68 500 km (42,500 lane-mi) of highways must be cleared. Visibility during plowing operations is often poor and is further diminished by backscatter glare from the snowplow's own headlights as well as glare from lights of oncoming traffic. Results are summarized of a pilot study to identify forward (front-end) lighting configurations that might improve visibility for plow operators during such operations. During the 1993–1994 winter, eight lighting configurations were tested, two of which were identified as potential improvements over the existing pattern. Simple procedures and forms were developed for collecting reliable data. Methodological issues in performing such experiments are discussed. A statistical methodology is presented that is suitable for comparison of lighting configurations but is also applicable in other, broader contexts in which a number of items are compared by several evaluators.

Large amounts of deicing agents (abbr. Deicer) were applied on road pavements for snow and ice control each year in the cold region. The traditional deicers used on pavements resulted in metallic corrosion of vehicle and serious adverse environmental impacts. By contrast, acetates and formates were more environmentally friendly and more effective. After application of new deicers, heavy binder bleeding and severe stripping problems were observed occurring together with loss of asphalt pavement stability in northen Europe and northen America. Recently the large quantities of acetate-based deicers applied each year in China, damage by the deicers similar to that observed in those wereas would also occur in China. To shed light on neglected distress by deicer and guide the best practices of deicer application, asphalt mix design and maintenance of asphalt pavement, the paper revealed the asphalt mixture performance variation corroded by deicers and corrosion mechanism using immersion tension test, aqueous solutiion test and immersion penetration test.
