An increasing number of vehicles on the roads increases the risk of accidents. In bad
weather (eg, heavy rainfall, strong winds, storms, and fog), this risk almost doubles due to
bad visibility as well as road conditions. If an accident happens, especially in bad weather, it
is important to inform approaching vehicles about it. Otherwise, there might be another
accident, ie, a multiple-vehicle collision (MVC). If the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is
not informed in a timely fashion about the incident, fatalities might increase because they do …
