Title:
TRACTION ENHANCING DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999054153
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A system for deployment of traction enhancing agents (213) uses an infrared detecting sensor (244) to receive ambient IR from a roadway, whereby the road surface temperature is determined. The determined temperature is supplied to a traction enhancing agent deployment controller (230), so that the amount and selection of particular agents (213) can be governed based on the particular road surface temperature. Variations are thereby accommodated, so the most appropriate agent (213) or agents in an appropriate combination and density can be applied.
