Ice Cover Speed Limits: Investigate, Innovate and Adapt
FY 2018-19 · 2019-01-01
Summary
Currently, wave theory and critical speed ideas are not well understood and have led to confusion as to the safe speed limits for ice covers. Safely increasing speed limits on ice covers could lead to considerable cost savings to winter road clients as round trip times to deliver goods are decreased, allowing for goods to be delivered in less time and reducing overall days winter roads need to be maintained and kept open. This also has a climate change adaption consequence as it becomes more difficult to maintain winter road operating season days in warmer winters.

Description

Safely increasing speed limits on ice covers could lead to considerable cost savings to winter road clients as round trip times to deliver goods are decreased, allowing for goods to be delivered in less time and reducing overall days winter roads need to be maintained and kept open.

Description (French)
Présentement, la théorie des vagues et les idées de vitesse critique ne sont pas bien comprises et ont semé la confusion quant aux limites de vitesse de sécurité pour les couches de glace. L'augmentation sécuritaire des limites de vitesse sur les couches de glace pourrait entraîner des économies considérables pour les clients des routes d'hiver car les temps d'aller-retour pour la livraison des marchandises diminueraient, ce qui permettrait de livrer les marchandises plus rapidement et de réduire le nombre total de jours où les routes d'hiver devaient être maintenues et gardées ouvertes. Cela a également une conséquence sur l'adaptation au changement climatique car il devient plus difficile de maintenir les jours de saison d'exploitation sur les routes d'hiver en hiver plus chaud.
