4. Conclusions
- The electromagnetic induction heating deicing technology opens up a new idea for pavement deicing. The average deicing rate of asphalt mixture increases with the increase of length and content of steel wool fiber.
- According to the grey correlation entropy analysis, the length and content of steel wool fiber, ice thickness, output current and ambient temperature have influences on the average deicing rate of asphalt mixture, among which the content and length of steel wool fiber (internal factors) are the main factors affecting the deicing performance under induction heating.
- Under different influencing factors, BP neural network prediction models about average deicing rate are constructed. These models have high prediction accuracy and its prediction results have certain practical reference value.
- The deicing research of smooth pavement surface has been studied, so the deicing research of steep slope and fast turning pavement in mountainous area are considered. The deicing research under different slopes such as 5%, 10% and 15% are investigated, which can provide security for special pavement section and reduce the economic cost of deicing in winter for road maintenance department.
- Based on the deicing parameters of steel wool fiber asphalt mixture, the development of deicing machinery suitable for practical engineering is considered.
