| Abstract | Good drivers know what is happening in and around their vehicles, but today they are not alone in sensing the roadway environment. Right now, many vehicles collect information on vehicle conditions (lights, wipers, etc.), ambient temperature, and atmospheric pressure. Research is currently underway to take this information and combine it with other data on weather and road conditions to provide a more complete and accurate picture of current weather conditions in and around the roadway. The initiative is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program on connected vehicles, which involves the development and deployment of a fully connected transportation system that allows vehicle to vehicle, and vehicle to infrastructure communication. |
