1 Nordic Experiences of Salt Use for Winter Maintenance of Bicycle Paths Pohjoismaisia kokemuksia suolan käytöstä pyöräteiden talvihoidossa Göran Blomqvist Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute VTI Tine Damkjær Danish Road Directorate Katja Rekilä Norwegian Public Roads Administration NPRA Co-Author: Anna Niska Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute VTI

2 Winterservice on Bicycle paths in Denmark

3 Winter Weather in Denmark

4 Bicycle paths in Denmark Road Directorate is responsible for about 800 km. Municipalities is responsible for about 9000 km. Bike trafic low in wintertime

5 Analysing Winter strategies City of Aalborg Out calls : 69 Number of call outs States Road Road Directorate Out calls : 40 Result: Many different strategies if any City of Vordingborg Out calls : 9

6 Different kind of service on different paths Service level I Winterservice every day and 24/7 Preventive salting Service level II Winterservice from Starts when slippery has occurred

7 Different kind of service on different paths Service level III Lokal paths - only in weekdays and in daytime Service level IV Only exceptionally and after all other paths are done

8 Cooperating with the municipalities Vintercentral is located in Aalborg And call out for the hole country Call out at the same time at the municipalities near by. Benefit for the cyclists? Same level of service

9 Why, when and how much dosage

10 Future project Determination of residual salt on cycle path in cooperation with Copenhagen Municipality 2,35 m 1. Test field 2. Test field 3. Test field 2,45 m 2,55 m 50 cm 100 cm 100 cm Ca. 20 cm Ca. 20 cm

11 Thank you

12 Nordic experiences Sweden Anna Niska, Ida Järlskog & Göran Blomqvist, VTI

13 VTI Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute The Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute: is an assignment-based authority under the Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications. founded 1923

14 Increase cycling during wintertime

15 Seriously injured cyclists due to skidding

16 This sums up into: Two facts, two goals and one restriction: Increase cycling during wintertime! Ice, snow, gravel and leaves lead to accidents! Attractive road surface conditions! Satisfying friction! Minimum of salt exposure!

17 Traditional winter maintenance Ploughing for snow clearance and gritting for skid control

18 Grit from winter maintenance in the springtime

19 Brooming and salting

20 Salted compared to unsalted bike path

21 Evaluation methods by VTI in Stockholm projects Drivers experience, protocol Road condition observations Measurements of friction Salt measurements Interviews/Questionnaires Accident analysis Bicycle counts

22 The standard of the road surface will influence the success:

23 Developing technology, material and methods

24 How can we know if we are doing the right things

25 The need for follow-up methods Important questions for the maintenance vehicle driver: - Is the temperature (road surface) as predicted? - Is the wetness (road surface) as predicted? - Am I spreding what I think I am spreding?

26 Thank you for your attention!

50 Nordic experiences of salt use on cycle paths Conclusions In a climate where temperature varies frequently around 0 the salting helps to keep the bike paths clear from snow and ice What to take into account when introducing salting? Evaluation of condition of the road construction Quality of the road surface (evenness, cracking ++) The size and weight of the winter service vehicles Winter Road Congress 2018

51 Nordic experiences of salt use on cycle paths Conclusions Always base your choice of winter maintenance actions on the condition of the road/bike path Winter Road Congress 2018
