 note = {Recently, highway safety control under extreme natural hazards in Taiwan has faced critical challenges because of latest extreme climates. In an effort to develop an efficient early warning system for highway safety, the authors have developed an early warning method based on disastrous rainfall indices and rainfall patterns. Fundamental concept of such a methodology is to reform risk prediction and risk management from passive mode to active mode to acquire more time for mitigation mobilization and safety evacuation. The threshold rainfall indices are used to characterize triggering mechanisms of rainfall-induced natural hazards and further applied as the early warning criteria for highway safety control. In this paper, development of such early warning system for highway safety control is introduced in detail. Deployments of the proposed rainfall pattern analysis model in real storm events are also presented to verify feasibility of the developed system as well as sharing Taiwan's experience in hazard mitigation. Progress of this study is hoped to improve hazard prevention and safety control for highway facilities during critical natural hazards.},
