Transportation Research Record, 1998•journals.sagepub.comA case study on the effects of visibility and other environmental factors on driver speed was
conducted as part of an intelligent transportation systems field operational test to reduce
accidents caused by sudden changes in visibility levels. Baseline conditions established
normal vehicle speeds for passenger cars and trucks. Reduced visibility and winds
exceeding 40 km/h were found to be the primary factors affecting driver speed.
