Systems and methods are described, including a system () for automatically ascertaining a height characteristic of a contaminant () on a travel surface (). The system () comprises an illumination and imaging device (). At a first time, when the travel surface () is generally free of contaminant, the illumination and imaging device () illuminates the travel surface () with at least one light beam (), and images at least one impingement of the at least one light beam (). At a second time, when the travel surface () is covered by a layer of contaminant (), the illumination and imaging device () illuminates the travel surface with a light beam (), and images an impingement of the light beam on an impingement surface (). In response to the imaging, a computer () calculates the height characteristic of the contaminant. Other embodiments are also described.
