Development of the Snowstorm Visibility Information System for Road Users

摘要

To reduce damage caused by snowstorms, CERI developed the three information systems shown below.rn1) The Snowstorm Visibility Information System which providesrndistribution of forecast visibility for up to 24 hours for local areas.rn2) The User-Uploaded Snowstorm Information Sharing System whichrncollects local visibility information with road users uploading data.rn3) The Automatic Road Image Capturing and Uploading System whichrncollects visibility images from equipment in commercial vehicles.rnFor disaster mitigation, it’s important to assist drivers’ decision-making.rnWe are planning a study on information content and descriptions which can effectively help drivers to make safer decisions.
