Abstract:
A vehicle system is provided. The vehicle system comprises a weather sensor to provide long-range weather information, including the presence of large particles, where such long-range weather information is configured to be stored in a three dimensional volumetric representation, from which a two dimensional display and hazard information can be derived; a particle sensor to provide short-range weather information about the presence of small and large particles, wherein the particle sensor is able to differentiate between different types and sizes of particles; and at least one user interface configured to communicate weather information derived from the weather sensor and particle sensor.
