Regional Analysis of Dew Possibility in Road Sign Using Meteorological Data

Abstract

PURPOSES :This study analyzed the regional dew possibility in road sign using meteorological data. METHODS :Four years of meteorological data such as temperature, humidity, dew point, wind velocity were collected and analyzed. As a result of literature review, dew was frequent in large diurnal range, high humidity and weak wind. So, dew possibility was analyzed by (temperature-dew point 1 and wind velocity 1.5m/s). RESULTS :The possibility was analyzed for each meteorological observation point and the point of Suncheon and Bonghwa were selected as the most likely points of dew in road sign. The area of East Coast, Kyungbuk and Kyungnam were relatively low potential. CONCLUSIONS :Alternative with high effect of preventing dew should be selected in high possibility dew area despite of low economics.
