Resource conservation with snow removal in urban environments
Abstract
Resource conservation with snow removal in urban environments
Incoming article date: 06.03.2015An analysis of snowplows in urban environments. Determined that the efficiency of snow removal from roads, sidewalks areas affected humps (bumps), borders, etc. In line with this analysis of structures working bodies (dumps), used in Russia and abroad, as well as analysis of patents. In accordance with the foregoing, all decisions on the management of blade can be divided: extra lever systems; modernization of hydraulic drive; use microprocessors; the combination of these approaches. Obviously, the use of processor technology is justified for high-tech machines, as a consequence has disadvantages in price, qualification of operators and maintenance personnel. For the modernization of existing equipment, at the moment, it is advisable to use the combined system using the lever and hydraulic drive systems. It is necessary to take into account the energy-saving technologies.
