Abstract

A traffic obstruction early warning system installed in roadway locations with limited visibility or restricted line of sight to warn drivers approaching a hazardous road condition well in advance so that precautionary measures may be taken and thereby reduce the risk of the multiple vehicle involvement. Selected roadway locations for the system installations can be the location of past vehicle pile-ups, or at-risk locations. The system timely and cohesively integrates inputs from a plurality of roadway sensors and human reporting to deploy a variety of visible and audible alerts to approaching drivers, law enforcement, emergency responders, local hospitals, utility companies, vehicle apps, and others using a variety of communication modalities.
