Recognition of road surface conditions should always be at the forefront of intelligent transportation systems for the enhancement of transportation safety and efficiency. When road surfaces are covered by ice or snow, accident rate would increase due to the reduction of road surface roughness and also friction between tire and road. High-resolution recognition of natural and man-made surfaces has been proved to be achievable by employing radars operating at low-terahertz (low-THz) frequencies…
