Remote-controlled trucks could fill human gaps in transportation sector - College of Engineering - University of Wisconsin-Madison The Traffic Operations and Safety (TOPS) Laboratory research team will work with licensed truckers to participate in simulator experiments.

SICOP Talks WInter Ops with Andrea Bill from the Wisconsin Traffic Operations and Safety Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin, Madison as she discusses the latest research into use of salt brine.
Wisconsin DOT has been working hard to promote the use of liquids in winter maintenance operations. In 2021, the results of a 2-year research project into the use of salt brine was published. Andrea Bill presented this work at the 2022 Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting and in this episode describes the work and results of this study showing very positive results for the use of salt brine.
