Abstract
On rainy days, water films form on wet road surfaces and reduce the braking force of vehicles, which often ends up in accidents. For safe driving, the road information signage provides information on road and weather conditions warning drivers of wet road conditions. Still, current information on road conditions is neither localized nor detailed but universal. The present study used the images on CCTVs installed on roads to compare the images of road surfaces in an attempt to suggest a mechanism determining factors that hamper safe driving based on the images. In the image comparison, a normal road image taken on a sunny day is used as an original image, against which road conditions occurring on rainy days are categorized and determined on a case-by-case basis to provide drivers with early warning for the sake of safe driving.
