“…Pavlic [10] developed a fog detection method using image descriptors with Gabor Filters at varying scales, frequencies and directions. Another technique [11] in which integration of radar with in vehicle was developed. The principle behind this is Koschmieder's law in which fog density has been categorised in accordance to visibility factor of beyond vehicle.…”

Adverse weather and road traffic crashes are the foremost causes of motorized vehicle fatalities. The degree of severity may be influenced by a number of factors. Various mechanisms were tested with different conditions and speed response, to understand the reaction of drivers in changing fog levels. New algorithms have been proposed in recent studies for rating visibility enhancement techniques, on the basis of summation of various types of fog generated on artificial and camera images. The main concern should be the development of effective detection of fog and warning system, with respect to speed and headway. Further research analysis is necessary to quantify the influences of deicing materials, particularly in relation with frequency and application rate, on transport safety. A state-of-the-art critique of study on relationship amidst fog and highway safety is provided in this paper. Reduction in the count of fatalities is expected in future on account of development of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS).

This paper proposes an imaging-based system to estimate road sign visibility in a cluttered environment from the driver’s perspective in daytime using in-vehicle camera images. The proposed system can be deployed in both Driver Assistance Systems (DAS) and Driver Safety Support Systems (DSSS) as a choosing criterion of what information to provide to drivers. Driver Assistance Systems can only provide drivers with warnings about road signs with less visibility and high importance. The proposed system estimates the visibility by measuring the detect-ability of road signs. The detect-ability parameter measures the ability of the driver to locate road object from a scene and thus; it measures sign postage with respect to cluttered or complex environment. Road signs posted in complex environment are harder to be recognized by drivers and thus have low value for the detect-ability parameter. This paper proposes a visibility estimation system of road signs in the United States and experimental results are used to show its effectiveness.
