Apparatus and system for synchronized application of one or more materials to a surface from a vehicle and control of a vehicle mounted variable positions snow removal device

A travel surface conditioning vehicle comprising:

• a positionable plow mounted on and carried by the vehicle operable between a raised position and a lowered position proximate a vehicle travel surface via controls located in a cab of said vehicle;
• at least a triggering fluid material carried by the vehicle capable of being selectively applied to said vehicle travel surface;
• a triggering fluid material application device mounted on said vehicle and communicating with said triggering fluid material;
• and
• a fluid material spreading system for application of said triggering fluid material to said vehicle travel surface in conjunction with positioning of said plow, said system including a controller coupled to said plow controls and said triggering fluid application device, said controller having at least one user actuatable control thereon for selectively turning on said triggering material application device and controlling a spread width of application of at least said triggering material to said vehicle travel surface in response to lowering said plow to said vehicle travel surface.

A synchronized-width fluid material spreading system carried by a vehicle carrying a positionable plow, at least a triggering fluid material capable of being applied to a vehicle travel surface and at least one slave fluid material carried on said vehicle capable of being applied to said vehicle travel surface, said system comprising:

• a computer having a database, said computer being connected to said positionable plow and to a Global Positioning System receiver, said computer automatically positioning said plow in response to vehicle position at predetermined locations stored in said database;
• a triggering fluid material application device supported on said vehicle and communicating with said triggering fluid material;
• at least one slave fluid material application device supported on said vehicle communicating with said slave fluid material, and
• a controller coupled to said computer and to said triggering fluid application device and said slave fluid application device, said controller having at least one user actuatable control thereon for turning on said triggering and slave fluid material application devices and automatically controlling a rate of application and width of application of said slave material in response to application of said triggering fluid material on said vehicle travel service.
