Abstract:<div>This study investigates the use of a road weather model (RWM) as a virtual
sensing technique to assist autonomous vehicles (AVs) in driving safely, even in
challenging winter weather conditions. In particular, we investigate how the AVs
can remain within their operational design domain (ODD) for a greater duration
and minimize unnecessary exits. As the road surface temperature (RST) is one of
the most… Show more
