Samenvatting
The problem of determining safe distances between snowploughs during winter road maintenance has been discussed with consideration for safe overtaking. Road, weather and technology factors influencing road safety were justified. The mathematical models for calculation are reported. The maximum permissible safe speeds for different road pavement conditions regarded as limiting conditions were computed. Calculations were performed for a wide range of road machine speeds and for various winter pavement conditions. The values obtained were compared with the values presented in standards.
