    Individual paper Individual paper (pdf - 829KB)

    Chemical deicers are widely used in cold regions to maintain safe winter pavement conditions; yet, concerns persist about choosing the most efficient and environmentally friendly deicers. While many laboratory studies have examined deicing performance on asphalt, relatively few focus on in-situ applications by road authorities. This study investigates how sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium formate [...]

  • IP0118 - Integrated Snow and Ice Management for Active Mobility: A PV–TENG–Powered, Decarbonized Winter Service Ecosystem
    Fernando ANIBALLI
    Individual paper Individual paper (pdf - 1.3MB)

    This paper presents an innovative and climate-resilient winter maintenance system designed for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The proposed Integrated Snow and Ice Management System brings together advanced technologies and human supervision to ensure safer, more sustainable mobility during winter months. At its core, the system employs flexible polymer heating strips (3.3 cm × 0.5 cm) [...]
