Abstract

The influence of road surface conditions on traffic accidents is remarkable, especially in snowy countries.
And accidents caused by polished ice on the surface of roads are still serious problem in winter. A remote sensing
method for road surface conditions will be effective for the reduction of accidents. NIR spectroscopic method was
applied for the various surfaces covered in ice and the possibility to detect the friction coefficient was reported on
the previous study. In this paper shows a theoretical verification for this method and the possibility for applying a
snow surface.
