Provisioning Road Weather Management using Edge Cloud and Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

The adverse weather conditions and unforeseen road surface may negatively affect driving safety. To provide better roadway safety and mobility, Road Weather Information System (RWIS) have been implemented. The performance of the existing RWIS can be improved using various emerging technologies such as connected vehicle technologies and edge cloud computing. This paper presents development of a cost-effective and resource-efficient road weather management system using edge cloud and connected vehicle technologies, as well as deployment of fuzzy inference system as road weather hazard assessment means.
