Heavy traffic to produce slipperiness data for road users
A new Finnish invention for detecting black ice, launched last year, has been taken into use. A recently started two-year project by EEE Innovations Oy, Finnish Transport Agency and Trafi is harnessing 1000 heavy traffic vehicles into a data collecting system for enhancing traffic safety. The number includes buses and trucks to produce real-time slipperiness data through software installed in them, for the benefit of drivers, operators and other road users. The method, developed in cooperation with VTT, allows for slippery road conditions to be detected accurately and even in real time, far
