Comparative analysis and curve fitting showed how different quantities and types affect melting area. Considering factors like agent type, time, and quantity, a real-time prediction model was developed using multiple machine learning regression algorithms. Results indicated that melting area stabilizes time over and with increasing quantity, exhibiting quadratic curve characteristics. Industrial Salt had the shortest melting time. The Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) model achieved the highest accuracy (R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 0.979). Time was the most important factor in the prediction model, with agent type contributing approximately 30% and quantity 16.8%. This study introduces a novel machine learning framework for real-time prediction of melting areas, addressing the lack of quantitative models in existing research.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14727978251337960","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]],"date-time":"2025-04-28T19:17:51Z","timestamp":1745867871000},"page":"4363-4376","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Evaluating ice-melting performance of highway deicing agents: A machine learning approach"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4859-7339","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhi","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guiyang Huancheng Expressway Engineering Co., Ltd., Guiyang, China"}]},{"given":"Liping","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mountain Bridge and Tunnel Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China; School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China; Guizhou Transportation Planning Survey &amp; Design Academe Co., Ltd., Guiyang, China"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","first-page":"129","article-title":"Supporting and guiding the digital transformation and upgrading of highway and waterway transportation infrastructure","volume":"39","author":"Ministry of Finance & Ministry of Transport","year":"2024","unstructured":"Ministry of Finance & Ministry of Transport.
