In order to reduce the impact of winter snow to urban traffic, the paper proposes the concept of magnetic energy snowmelt technology and describes the design features of this technology, analyzes pavement temperature distribution in different pavements using the finite element method, studies the pavement process of magnetic energy snowmelt, proposes the construction technology of magnetic energy snowmelt according to simulation results of construction process, and considers comprehensive test detection results from the test section. The results show that testing value is in good agreement with theoretical value, and the indicators are all within the safe range. Through the testing and analysis throughout the snow season of 2009 and one year of road operation, it shows us that magnetic energy snowmelt technology has the following advantages: fast snowmelt, high efficiency electro heat, free from contamination, easy to operate, and low energy consumption. The successful operation of the test road shows that this technology has potential practical application.
