• Abstract:
  Laboratory work will be combined with reviews of highway signage protocols, requirements and ; potential applications that will lead to prototype design requirements for a typical highway sign that ; should have the potential to improve safety for the motoring public and produce energy savings for the ; transportation industry. The prototype design will be prepared in anticipation of accelerated ; environmental exposure experiments and that will also address legibility criteria under various inclement ; weather scenarios. Upon completion the highway sign will be placed along a highway in West Virginia ; including sensor instrumentation for inclement weather monitoring and evaluated for weather sustaining ; availability over the winter season.
