Title:
A Weather Model for Variable Speed Limits
Abstract:
By use of a weather model it is possible to reduce the speed limits along the roads according to prevailing weather and road conditions. The model considers the variations in local climate along the road stretches which is processed together with input from the RWIS. The speed limits are set according to the severity level produced in four classes by the model.
