New Developments for Winter Service on European Roads
  Roads are of outmost importance for mobility of people and transport of goods throughout Europe. Experts believe that up to 50% of the total maintenance budget is spent on winter maintenance in many European countries. It therefore has a high significance not only in keeping roads, cycle tracks and footways free from ice and snow but also in matters of pedestrian, cyclist and driver safety. COST Action 353 „ winter service strategies for increased European road safety” started in April 2004 and ran for a four year period until April 2008. Participants from 22 European countries have been intensively working together from the very beginning to achieve the main objective of the Action – to develop a framework for the management of winter traffic for maximized road safety, and the secondary objective – to integrate new methods of winter maintenance management through the use of the latest technologies for management, communication and vehicle positioning.
