Features: Based on the analysis of climatic characteristics, formation patterns of fog zones, and their impact on expressways, this book conducts multidisciplinary large-scale field research on heavy fog. It determines predictable parameters of fog zones and proposes four prediction methods for fog and visibility. A prediction and forecasting system with independent intellectual property rights of China is established, capable of rolling forecasts for visibility in fog zones for the next 24 hours. The accuracy rate of predicting fog formation, persistence, and dissipation processes exceeds 98%. According to the forecast data of fog and visibility, combined with real-time on-site monitoring results, the composition of traffic monitoring systems and field equipment layout are determined, and traffic management plans are formulated. This book holds significant reference value for addressing fog hazards on other expressways in China.
