A téli útüzem fejlesztési lehetőségei, különös tekintettel a régiók téli közlekedési viszonyaira = The development opportunities of winter road maintenance focusing on the driving conditions in winter

Absztrakt

Winter road maintenance is an essential element of traffic safety. The primary winter maintenance objective is to provide snow and ice free conditions on the highway network. The safety of road users can be improved by different methods at temperature below 0°C. One of the solutions is the de-icing with salt. The aim of the research work was to improve the efficiency of salt storage system in Hungary. The Hungarian Road Agency has three main categories of roads in according to the winter maintenance of roads. The best solution was the silo storage network system with decentralized locations, because nowadays there are storage facilities used only in plant. The mathematical methods used namely CARP – Capacitated Arc Routing Problem – give opportunity to the road maintenance agency to make their winter maintenance works faster and safely. The faster salt dispersing method enables to the car drivers to reach their targets as planned safely.
