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

A method of applying surface conditioning materials to a vehicle travel surface comprising the steps of:

• providing a vehicle carrying at least a first fluid material in a container for application to said vehicle travel surface;
• providing a second fluid material in a second container on said vehicle for application to said vehicle travel surface;
• applying said first fluid material to said surface;
• remotely controlling application of said first fluid material from a control box in a cab of said vehicle, said control box defines a control knob for controlling the rate of said first fluid material disbursement, said control box defines a display for indicating settings of the control box;
• and
• automatically controlling separate application of said second fluid material through said control box in response to said remotely controlled application of said first fluid material to said vehicle travel surface.

A method of applying surface conditioning materials to a vehicle travel surface comprising the steps of:

• providing a vehicle carrying at least a first fluid material in a container for application to said vehicle travel surface;
• providing a second fluid material in a second container on said vehicle for application to said vehicle travel surface;
• applying said first fluid material to said surface;
• remotely controlling application of said first fluid material from a control box in a cab of said vehicle;
• automatically controlling separate application of said second fluid material through said control box in response to said remotely controlled application of said first fluid material to said vehicle travel surface;
• and
• wherein said step of controlling includes varying an application width of said first fluid material and an application width of said second fluid material applied to said vehicle surface.

A synchronized-width fluid material spreading system carried by a vehicle carrying 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 separately applied to said vehicle travel surface, said system comprising:

• 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 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 spread width of said slave material in response to application of said triggering fluid material on said vehicle travel surface.
