THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT ARE: 1) EVALUATE THE SNOW REMOVAL EFFECTIVENESS AND MATERIAL DURABILITY OF PASSIVE (E.G. HYDROPHOBIC TAPE ADHESION AT THE FRAME-GLASS INTERFACE) AND ACTIVE (E.G. HEATING TAPE OPTIMIZATION USING DIFFERENT POWER LEVELS AND PULSE RATES) METHODS, INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY; 2) DEMONSTRATE THE COMBINED PASSIVE-ACTIVE TECHNIQUE AT TWO SNOW-PRONE SITES.
