FoRo (Fog on Road)

FORO is a fog detection device that gives hyperlocal predictions of fog in real time. The devices presently available in the market are ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) integrated with LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), image processing, radar, optical power measurement, etc. These techniques produce reliable results, but with more complexity. Also, the cost of these techniques is very high. So, to overcome this problem, we have found that the FM radio signals vary with the fog. We started automating the process of noting down the signals while moving on the roads with an instrument named FoRo (Fog on Roads). We are in the process of prototyping FoRo for precise recording of the signals, converting them into digital signals, and transferring the data to the mobile phones with the linked application. It records the signal and sends it to the servers. The server has an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that can predict the fog at a hyperlocal level in real time. Now, we can predict the time of your arrival better than Google Maps in the winter seasons of India.
