| To clarify the damage falling snow could cause to passing vehicles、 and accidents due to impaired visibility、 an experiment was conducted regarding the impact and scattering conditions of falling snow. The results of this experiment and those of previous studies revealed that the possibility of damage is thought to increase if the density of snow becomes 600 kg/m3 or more due to thawing and freezing of snow. Additionally、 accidents caused by impaired visibility due to the scattering of snow are more likely in the case of dry snow with density of 200 kg/m3 or less. |
