# What is Anti-Icing

Federal Highway Administration Video VH-369 What is Anti-Icing A brief introductory video for decision-makers, this tape emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of a strategic anti-icing program developed by the SHRP program. The goal of anti-icing is to prevent a strong bond between ice and pavement or bridge decks by spreading an ice-control chemical on the road before a bond can form, as opposed to de-icing. An array of new anti- icing technologies are shown: road weather information systems, site-specific roadway temperature forecasting, and new spreaders. SHRP study participants from various states comment on the effectiveness and cost-savings of the program.
