融雪シミュレータによる融雪装置の最適化

抄録

Road heating is a technology that closely relates to the life of the people in the cold region. Since the study has to deal with natural phenomenon, no effective method has been established for the evaluation of the system. In this paper,dynamic characteristic was used to study the heat element control methods and paving materials using a simulator. The case using the total heat supplying quantity and the case using heating time as the signal were studied. As the generic function, it is appropriate to use heating time as the signal rather than using the total heat supplying quantity. Because the response to heat and the quantity of thaw water vary due to environmental conditions; therefore it is necessary to research on such responses in order to use the total heat supplying quantity as the signal. A road heating simulator was used for a natural phenomenon and evaluation was made using dynamic characteristic. As a result,various kinds of information regarding the effectiveness of parameters on snow melting and their relationships were obtained.
