• 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.
