Automatic deicing control for roads and runways

A road or runway operator needs liquid treatment at a defined surface without waiting for a vehicle to reach it. Boschung provides FAST, meaning Fixed Automated Spray Technology, with installed outlets and connected surface instruments. The arrangement applies a liquid thawing agent across the area selected for a bridge, steep approach or other treated traffic surface.

Active pavement and atmospheric measurements in the Ice Early Warning System trigger the arranged spray controls. Installation options include disks built into the pavement, heads fixed to a side rail and a pavement-mounted mist arrangement. The outlet layout is selected for the length and width of the area to treat. Connected management through bVision, the operating platform, lets staff launch selected programs, review the current installation and examine retained spray histories.

Maintenance staff use the connected records to review treatment events and the operating condition of the fixed system. The arrangement keeps the application points on the selected surface while the platform supplies program access and historical review. Deployment establishes the outlet positions, treatment supply, instrument inputs and chosen operating rules. Teams commission those parts together and use the retained events when assessing the ongoing winter treatment workflow at the installed location.
