Abstract
This paper describes the preliminary results for
detecting slippery road conditions. The detector will be
implemented in a larger system intended to increase the
safety margin for vehicle drivers, by utilising socalled
cooperative driving where infrastructure to vehicle
communications operate seamlessly.
The ice detection system is based on intensity
differences in reflectance for horizontal and vertical
polarisation planes. The results show that relative light
reflection in the horizontal plane compared to the
vertical plane is 59% higher in the case of ice than for
dry asphalt. Furthermore, the detector includes a
so-called graininess analysis, which provided a 32%
reduction in granularity when moving from dry asphalt to
ice. Combining these two methods enables a robust and
reliable ice/wet road detection application. This paper
also briefly describes how the ice detection application
can be connected to the overall Safespot safety system,
its particular relevance and its planned implementation
on the test sites.
