In this paper, we meticulously examine the robustness of computer vision object detection frameworks within the intricate realm of real-world traffic scenarios, with a particular emphasis on challenging adverse weather conditions. Conventional evaluation methods often prove inadequate in addressing the complexities inherent in dynamic traffic environments—an increasingly vital consideration as global advancements in autonomous vehicle technologies persist. Our investigation delves specifically into the nuanced performance of these algorithms amidst adverse weather conditions like fog, rain, snow, sun flare, and more, acknowledging the substantial impact of weather dynamics on their precision. Significantly, we seek to underscore that an object detection framework excelling in clear weather may encounter significant challenges in adverse conditions. Our study incorporates in-depth ablation studies on dual modality architectures, exploring a range of applications including traffic monitoring, vehicle tracking, and object tracking. The ultimate goal is to elevate the safety and efficiency of transportation systems, recognizing the pivotal role of robust computer vision systems in shaping the trajectory of future autonomous and intelligent transportation technologies.
