Climate change, i.e. warmer temperatures, intensifies the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Adverse weather conditions present significant challenges to the safety and efficiency of transportation systems worldwide. Inclement weather, including rain, snow, fog, and storms, has been identified as a major factor contributing to increased road accidents, traffic congestion, and delays. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have emerged as a solution to mitigate these adverse effects by optimizing traffic flow and enhancing safety.
This paper explores the various components and functionalities of ITS in addressing adverse weather impacts on traffic safety and efficiency. Based on real-time weather data, ITS provide drivers with accurate information, enables automated traffic management and control strategies, and optimizes traffic flow during adverse weather events.
Furthermore, the paper presents different ITS applications in reducing the risks associated with adverse weather. This review highlights the potential of ITS as a crucial tool in weather-responsive transportation systems, emphasizing the need for continued research, technological advancements, and multidisciplinary approach to further enhance the resilience of transportation system. Implementing comprehensive ITS solutions holds the promise of significantly reducing the adverse impacts of weather on traffic safety and efficiency, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and resilient transportation infrastructure.
