“The new data will reduce the halkriskerna”
“the Ice has made in the christmas and nyårstrafiken. Now, an attempt is made to streamline the halkbekämpningen through the cross-referencing of data, reports Swedish Radio ” Ekot.”
“Scientists have with the help of vägväderprognoser and information on road conditions from passenger cars halksystem developed a system to be able to predict when and where it will be content – and was saltbilar to be deployed.”
“– instead of the driver driving his firm round, so you get a prognosis which is determined from the latest information on the forecast for the road, ” says Anna Arvidsson, a researcher at the Swedish national road and transport research institute, VTI, to the Echo.”
“In the project merged the forecasts for vägväder, traffic situation and the data from the cars on the roads in order to bring out the best and most efficient routes for saltbilarna and determine how much salt must be added.”
“– In the day running the cars according to some predetermined routes, but with this system – when the correct action is inserted at the right time and place – will thus halkbekämpningen to become more efficient, ” says Anna Arvidsson.”
“in Addition to increased safety, the system is more environmentally friendly, then it spreads out less salt on the roads and saltbilarna run shorter distances.”
“the Experiment has been tested during two winter seasons, and will continue to in, inter alia, Umeå and Enköping. The hope is to develop a system that works in the whole country during the next winter season.”
