Abstract

Snow is most commonly removed from highways by a plow mounted at an angle of the front of a heavy truck. In this way the snow is thrown well to the side but the blade scrape the pavement. This scraping can be avoided by directing a thin sheet of high-velocity air at the pavement from under the blade. Full-scale designs should be developed and tested.
