Evaluating Suitable Application of De-Icing Materials for Winter Maintenance Practices
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
This study evaluated the differences in estimated and actual use of de-icing materials across regions in South Korea. We use this information to identify areas where there appears to be a misfit between estimated and actual use and also to improve future use estimates. Using the right amount of de-icing materials has implications for winter maintenance costs as well. For the period 2011 through 2016, we examined estimated and actual use by region and the differences between these two values using two statistical tests that identified statistically significant differences in use in some regions. The results show that it is important to evaluate the appropriateness ofuse of de-icing materials in each region every year.This study can be applied in a variety of other locations to identify mismatches in material use as specific decision-making based on suitabledata analysis is importantfor costreduction and environmental impact.
