Abstract
A method for determining a wet road condition includes receiving a value of a received signal strength index of an RF signal received from a sensor associated with a wheel of a vehicle, comparing the value to a predetermined threshold value, and if the value is less than the predetermined threshold value, determining that a wet road condition is met and outputting a pre-aquaplaning warning signal. A system for determining a wet road condition and a non-transitory computer program product are also provided.
