Abstract
To detect the icing condition and icing thickness of asphalt pavement in extreme weather conditions, this paper firstly compared the performance indexes of polymer optical fiber and quartz optical fiber, chose polymer optical fiber as the optical transmission medium, and selected the distribution mode of coaxial sensor probes. Meanwhile, it designed the weak signal detection circuit and finally completed the design of a polymer optical fiber road icing sensor. Secondly, it was verified that the effect of temperature on the icing detection results was negligible, and icing tests under different light intensities were conducted under simulated light, with the icing characteristic curve obtained. Finally, the verification test of the icing characteristic curve was carried out under natural light to gain the functional relationship between the sensor output voltage and icing thickness curve. Consequently, this can provide real-time road safety information for road maintenance and management departments as well as pedestrians, reducing the frequency of traffic accidents.
