This report describes a study conducted by the Western Transportation Institute for the California Department of Transportation. The study evaluated the qualitative and quantitative performance of five anti-icing materials by measuring a variety of performance indices, including temperature of snow-pavement bond failure, friction of pavement after physical snow removal, and snow-pavement bond strength. The report also includes a set of guidelines that aim to encourage the implementation of anti-icing in winter maintenance activities in California (U.S.).
