Description

However, delivering winter service is complex due to the diversity of meteorological and road weather situations. In a context where preserving the environment is becoming paramount, and where experience has shown that "more salting" does not amount to "better treatment", it is necessary to optimise winter maintenance actions. This guide helps managers to take a questioning look at their practices, and define their road treatment strategies and procedures.

It offers practical informations, some of which will be new at least in its presentation format, plus real-life technical examples designed to be easy for operators to apply. It also emphasises the importance of sharing a common vocabulary.
