Abstract
Maintaining roads and highways during the winter season poses a significant challenge for urban authorities, particularly municipalities, due to the inevitable accumulation of snow and ice on roadways. The presence of snow and ice on roads and pavements significantly reduces safety and can lead to substantial financial losses and even casualties. While traditional methods like using salt, sand, and gravel have been employed for de-icing, they come with numerous drawbacks, including negative environmental impacts. Recognizing these limitations, scientists and industry experts have continuously sought innovative solutions and formulations to address winter road maintenance challenges. Efforts in developing new de-icing methods have prioritized minimizing damage to infrastructure and urban structures while addressing environmental concerns. This research delves into global experiences in the production and application of innovative materials in asphalt mixtures to prevent icing and explores optimized approaches, particularly the use of eco-friendly de-icing compounds, to modify asphalt mixtures for road surfaces. The effectiveness of de-icing agents varies depending on temperature ranges. Each de-icing agent exhibits optimal performance within a specific temperature range. Utilizing de-icing agents beyond their effective temperature ranges not only fails to address the issue but also leads to increased costs.
