Abstract
A method of black ice detection includes receiving image stream data from a mobile device. The mobile device is in a vehicle. At least one of accelerometer data from at least one accelerometer, temperature and humidity data, and on board dash vehicle data is received. A classifier embedded in the mobile device is run to evaluate the received image stream data, and the at least one of the accelerometer data, the temperature and humidity data, and the on board dash vehicle data. It is determined whether black ice is present in the image stream data based on a result generated by the classifier.
