Title:

Reducing Fog-Related Crashes on the Afton and Fancy Gap Mountain Sections of I-64 and I-77 in Virginia

Abstract:

The purpose of this project was to evaluate the nature and severity of the fog-related crash problem on Afton and Fancy Gap Mountains, to identify alternative solutions and technologies to address the problems, and to assist VDOT decision makers in selecting the most cost-effective set of solutions. As an additional objective, technologies to alert motorists to the presence of a primary crash ahead were examined to help reduce the probability of secondary crashes.
