AN AUTOMATED SNOWBLOWER FOR HIGHWAY WINTER OPERATIONS.

continued on page 6 The snow falls. It falls thickly, saturating the air, swirling on gusts of wind. At times, white, dull white snow striking your windshield is all you can see. You pass by Donner Summit, on I-80, tires skidding slightly on the freshly plowed road. The snow clears slightly, and you are greeted with the sight of a huge machine, a 20-ton snowblower, blowing snow out next to the guardrail. As you continue on, you take note of the perfect straight line of snow along the guardrail. Passing by, you are further surprised by the fact that the driver waved at you, smiling; you get the feeling that his hands are not on the wheel. The goal of PATH researchers is to make this scene real.
