A road covered with multilayered snow/ice (s/i) model called multilayer model was proposed in this paper and applied to the melting process of s/i layer on a pavement block in a low temperature room.Consequently, it was found that (1) the multilayer model could reproduce reduction of the thickness of the s/i layer, the volumetric ice content and temperature better than our previous model, i.e., the single layer model, (2) an accurate analysis of the melting process of the s/i layer requires that the element size (thickness) should be chosen less than 0.2 of the initial layer thickness, (3) the energy balance is effective in understanding the melting process of the s/i layer.
