Abstract:Detecting slippery road conditions is a
natural application for in-vehicle data
collection and analysis in Michigan. A
properly instrumented vehicle may be
able to provide moment-to-moment road
surface, weather and vehicle condition data.
Properly analyzed, this information, along
with data from a network of other vehicles,
could help MDOT to respond quicker
to slippery road conditions with traveler
advisory warnings and winter maintenance
response teams.
In practice, however, the requirements
for collecting and analyzing the different
kinds of necessary data are both technical
and challenging. MDOT undertook
a research study with the University
of Michigan Transportation Research
Institute to prove the concept.
