Design of Road Condition Sensor Based on Multiple Frequency Detecting Technology

Article Preview

Abstract:

Road surface sensors system, plays a very important role in the highway traffic field. Comprehensive estimation of road condition, will distinctly enhance the safety of transportation. Road condition sensor is used to distinguish the coverings on road surface, such as water, snow, ice, frost and so on. In this paper, we introduce the multiple frequency detecting technology used in the road surface sensors system, and design the road condition sensor to detect coverings on road surface. The main work includes design, measurement and improvement of the sensor.
