Abstract:

In March 1995 a fog-related crash involving 193 vehicles occurred on the seven-mile (11.3 kilometer) Bay Bridge on Interstate 10. This crash prompted the Alabama Department of Transportation (DOT) to deploy a low visibility warning system. The warning system was integrated with a tunnel management system near Mobile, Alabama.
