Abstract
The article presents the implementation and results of
the road condition monitoring conducted in the
cooperative intersection safety system developed under
the INTERSAFE-2 project. The proposed stationary camera
system is relative inexpensive with price of 2 kEur which
makes it attractive for wide deployment. The available
friction level is estimated in order to start automatic
braking earlier if the road surface is slippery.
The road monitoring application is based on polarisation
differences between horizontal and vertical planes. To
improve the reliabity of detection, graininess analysis
has been added and is crucial for detecting snowy ground.
The IcOR system is connected via an intelligent traffic
light controller to the cooperative on-board vehicle unit
