Abstract

The Forecast system predicts the temperature of road surfaces, using a neural net with back propagation learning algorithms and online parameter tuning. Forecast is a part of Icenet, a road-surface monitoring system installed on part of the Italian highway network. Icenet consists of a set of stations with specialized sensors. The stations, placed in the most critical zones, are connected via modem to a central station, which receives the data and forecasts temperature changes. If the temperature drops below zero, Icenet warns the system's operators.
