TxDOT Slippery Pavement Warning System Project
Description
This project will deploy a system that could detect slippery conditions on pavement surfaces due to rain, snow or ice, and provide warnings to motorists as well as TMC operators. Roadside sensors will monitor pavement friction or surface conditions and send a warning alert through flashing beacons upstream of the slippery pavement location to warn drivers. Alerts could also be sent to TransVista for use in activating dynamic message signs for warnings to motorists in advance of the slippery roadway.
