River Ice Measurements for Transportation Safety in Rural Communities
This project is relevant to the cold areas of Federal Region 10, where transportation routes occur on the frozen surfaces of lakes and rivers for three to four months each year Transportation safety on ice roads is a complex problem that involves people, vehicles, river ice, and weather conditions....
