Abstract:	The article focuses on the objective guidance system developed by AMEC to help Canadian departments of transportation (DOT) in Nova Scotia and the Northwest Territories to determine the appropriate dates to start and end seasonal load adjustment periods based on the subsurface conditions, since roadbeds freeze from the top down with the onset of cold winter temperatures. It mentions the SNow THERmal Model (SNTHERM) subsurface model used, developed by the U.S. Army laboratory.
