This study addresses the critical issue of traffic safety in winter, particularly focusing on the challenges posed by ice and snow on roads. Traditional methods of snow and ice removal are often labor-intensive, inefficient, and environmentally harmful. The objective is to develop a more effective solution for asphalt pavement deicing. Inspired by the anti-icing coating technology used in high-voltage conductors, this research develops an ice-suppressing material designed to reduce the adhesion between snow, ice, and pavement surfaces. The material’s performance is evaluated in terms of deicing efficiency, durability, adhesive properties, and its impact on pavement performance. Test results demonstrate that the developed ice-suppressing material significantly reduces the adhesion between the ice layer and the pavement, facilitating easier removal. This study concludes that the developed ice-suppressing material significantly enhances deicing efficiency on asphalt pavements. It exhibits strong hydrophobic properties, as evidenced by increased water droplet contact angles on coated surfaces (99.5° to 83.3°) compared to clean glass slides (39.2° to 29°). This hydrophobicity effectively reduces ice adhesion, decreasing tensile and shear strength of the ice layer by 38.2% and 63.6%, respectively. Additionally, the material demonstrates superior ice-melting capabilities in sub-zero temperatures, with coated ice cubes showing a higher mass reduction rate than uncoated ones. Importantly, its slow-release nature ensures sustained deicing performance over multiple cycles, maintaining effectiveness after seven test cycles. This study introduces an innovative ice-suppressing material that not only improves the efficiency and environmental impact of deicing methods but also contributes to enhancing road safety in winter conditions. The material’s novel composition and sustained effectiveness present a significant advancement in the field of winter road maintenance.

“…Several scholars have examined ice-suppressing materials and explored construction technologies based on the principles of ice and snow melting and ice suppression [4,13]. An anti-freeze ice-suppressing material for asphalt pavement was developed by adding a suitable amount of slow-release anti-icing agent (Mafilon) to emulsified asphalt.…”

Fixed automated spray technology (FAST) has been used for years in practice and theory both in Turkey and globally as an alternative to conventional method for struggle against snow and ice on highway superstructure. The purpose of FAST system is a proactive approach to reduce or even eliminate the impact of snow and ice factors that negatively affect the skid resistance on highway superstructure. This approach also plays an important role in decreasing the traffic accidents occurring on highways, prolonging the service life of the construction and minimizing the damage to the environment caused by conventional system. In light of this information, in this study, critical aspects of FAST system, its components, technological features, design and installation in terms of environmental factors are investigated. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of the system in struggle against snow and ice have been revealed. As a result, superiority of FAST, which is a product of a multidisciplinary study, in prevention of accidents caused by low skid resistance on the highway for struggle against snow and ice over the conventional methods, economic evaluation of FAST system, assessment of the components as technically, and criteria of determination of FAST components are put forward.

“…In winter, roads, pavements, and adjacent areas maintenance to ensure practicability and safety involves snow removal by means of various de-icing agents. Two main ways are used globally for de-icing: mechanical way (sand, crushed stone, rock crumbs) to increase friction, and chemical way (reagents containing Na, K, Mg salts with various additives) [GERASIMOV, CHUGUNOVA 2015;XU et al 2021]. In Canada only, about 5000.00 Gg of road salt are used annually in China -600.00 Gg in year, in Sweden -150.00 Gg in year [ANTONSON et al 2021;RØDLAND et al 2020].…”

Atmospheric deposition, vehicular transportation and de-icing agents are major sources polluted snow in urban. This study investigates the current trace elements concentrations of snow and de-icing using ICP-MS, and phytotoxicity using three vascular plants in snow. The study assesses the contamination, classification and phytotoxicity of snow quality removed from roads of residential areas and piled on children's playgrounds in residential territories. The research found that according to Russian environmental quality standard for water has been identified the exceeding trace elements in snow by W, Se, Mn, Cu, V, Mo, Ni and Zn. The pollution indices (PLI, CF and Zc) were identified pollution level of snow piles from moderate contamination to very high contamination. Based on average germination index values for Sinapis alba L., Lepidium sativum L., and Triticum aestivum L., the degree of inhibition in snow piles varied from no inhibition to strong inhibition. The trace elements content in de-icing "Galit А" and salt sand mix are defined in the following descending order: Zn > Mn > Ba > V > Rb > Sr and Mn > Ba > Cr > V > Sr > Ni, respectively. High concentrations of trace elements in snow piles are a source of environmental pollution. To prevent snow storage and disposal in residential areas should be involved in future studies of environmental pollution and circular economy, so that environmental managers can reduce threats to the environment and public health, as well as initiate circular economy projects in urban areas.
