Target tracking Research looks at effectiveness of FAST system

Fixed automated spray technology (FAST) systems are designed as a fi xed-asset technology for anti-icing at specifi c target areas, such as bridges, tunnels, ramps and other elevated roadways. They remotely sense the potential for frost or ice formation on pavement in light of atmospheric and pavement data from a road weather information system (RWIS) or an environmental sensor system (ESS) and...
