Abstract
Example wind detection systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives data from a vehicle-mounted sensor and determines whether airborne particles are identified in the received data. If airborne particles are identified in the received data, the method determines a wind speed and a wind direction based on movement of the airborne particles and determines a best action to avoid or mitigate the impact of the wind.
