ABSTRACT

Due to climate change and various environmental factors, localized torrential rains and weather-related road accidents have been increasing around the world. The estimated precipitation of torrential rains is subtantially inaccurate in areas where the rainfall data are not directly observed but estimated based on neighboring observations. Much attention is focused on rainfall observation technologies such as radar and AWS, but these facilities are too expensive to install and therefore lack the spatial resolution. We developed a technology to produce rain information using sensor signal features generated from rain sensors for vehicles. The W-S-R relationship formula, which was developed to utilize rain sensor signals to obtain rain information, was applied to the average signal values for five minutes, but found inaccurate due to insufficient consideration of the wiper effects. To solve this problem, the rain information was generated by the method of using the difference between the values before and after wipers were operated on the rain sensor signal, and evaluated by comparing the ground rainfall with that from W-S-R method.
