主　　题：driving Driver visibility 

摘      要：Dear Editor,Traffic driving is a dynamic and complicated task in which drivers are required to pay close attention to the important targets or regions to maintain safe *** weather conditions make it more challenging with factors such as low visibility,raindrops,pedestrian with umbrellas,wipers,*** showed that rainy condition affects driving safety significantly[1],[2].It is reported that,in raining weather condition,the odds for a fatal accident are 3.340 times higher on highways than on streets[3].An investigation of the relationship between rainfall and fatal crashes in Texas from 1994 to 2018 on fatality analysis reporting system(FARS)database illustrated that rain-related fatal crashes represented about 6.8%of the total fatal crashes on average,moreover,the proportion showed high variability at the annual,monthly,and hourly time scales[4].Therefore,raining is a complex and critical factor for road safety planning and *** fact,the traffic environment is a dynamic scene with multiple sources of information,including important targets that are highly relevant to the current driving task as well as irrelevant targets that may distract the driving task[5].
