Hydroplaning causes sudden uncontrollable vehicle loss of control during highway cloudbursts. This paper presents combined tire acoustic sensing and V2I alerts.
Water splashing against wheel arches produces distinctive 800 Hz to 2 kHz frequency signatures that identify hydroplaning risk before tire steering authority is lost.
Vehicles transmitting hydroplaning warnings trigger localized 30 km/h speed rollbacks in surrounding traffic, eliminating multi-car pileups.
