A method for determining wetness on a path of travel. A surface of the path of travel is captured by at least one image capture device. A plurality of wet surface detection techniques is applied to the at least one image. An analysis for each wet surface detection technique is determined in real-time of whether the surface of the path of travel is wet. Each analysis independently determines whether the path of travel is wet. Each analysis by each wet surface detection technique is input to a fusion and decision making module. Each analysis determined by each wet surface detection technique is weighted within the fusion and decision making module by comprehensive analysis of weather information, geology information, and vehicle motions. A wet surface detection signal is provided to a control device. The control device applies the wet surface detection signal to mitigate the wet surface condition.
