Poor visibility conditions contribute to a large percentage of accidents each year. Lack of visibility (which leads to the inability to detect the presence of obstacles and other vehicles on the road) is of particular concern in areas that experience bad weather conditions for a good part of the year. Since there have been a number of fatalities suffered as a result of fast moving vehicles hitting slow moving snowplows, as well as damage due to snowplows hitting abandoned vehicles and other objects buried in the snow, technologies that detect such objects need to be investigated. The primary objective of this project was to provide Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) with information that would be useful for planning and designing future safety systems for snowplows. This project's goal was to evaluate the performance of off-the-shelf commercially available radar units in snowfall.
