Abstract

Business Finland 6G Visible project’s objective is the development of 6G-era service and architecture solutions utilizing autonomous and semi-autonomous driving, with both physical and logical computational elements and with the use cases for real-life verification and validation. Finnish Meteorological Institute is focusing especially on weather and safety related services for autonomous vehicles. We are tailoring our road weather services for the special needs of autonomous driving, keeping in mind that autonomous vehicle is more sensitive to the harsh winter weather conditions and benefit from more accurate weather information considering the sensor systems of each vehicle. Employing weather radar-based Nowcasting of more accurate short-term precipitation forecasting benefits autonomous traffic especially in cases of heavy local precipitation by re-routing/route-planning and avoiding heaviest precipitation. Evaluation of autonomous vehicles’ sensor systems sensitivity to harsh weather conditions allows the weather forecasting based on real vulnerability of each vehicle.
