  Abstract

The detection of road surface wetness or iciness is a critical issue for safe driving, particularly in bad weather condition. A novel road wetness detection technique based on visible light communications is presented. It employs three light emitting diodes that represent a single fog lamp and two daytime running lamps mounted on most vehicles. Road surface under test is illuminated by these light emitting diodes and the scattered-diffused light reflection from the road surface is captured to detect the road wetness. The proposed technique is also capable of detecting the road wetness on both upslope and downslope. To verify the performance of the proposed technique, experiments were conducted indoors as well as outdoors. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique can detect the surface wetness over a distance range of 0.68 m to 5.1 m ahead and yield an estimated wetness level with an approximately 92% success probability. Therefore, the proposed technique could prevent the hydroplaning that may occur, due to road wetness.
