Funding Source: GO Transit, Metrolinx, Toronto, Ontario Executive Summary Every winter season, significant quantities of salts are applied to railway platforms and transit stations to keep them free of snow and ice at all times and minimize slip and fall incidents. The application of excessive amount …Read More

Kwon, T. J., Fu, L., & Perchanok, M.S. (2013). Performance Benchmarking of RWIS Pavement Temperature Forecasts. Proceedings of the 92nd Annual TRB conference, Washington D.C., Jan 13-17.

Kwon, T. J., Fu, L., & Perchanok, M.S (2013). “Performance Benchmarking of RWIS Pavement Temperature Forecasts”, Proceedings of the 92nd Annual TRB conference, Washington D.C., Jan 13-17. Abstract This paper describes a study focusing on performance evaluation of RWIS pavement temperature forecasts. To identify the factors influencing the accuracy of forecasts, five research hypotheses were constructed that RWIS forecasting accuracy would be affected by climatic patterns (e.g., maritime, continental, and …Read More
