To keep pace with the dynamic development of its economy and society, Serbia is modernizing its ageing road network. By providing 54 road weather monitoring stations across the whole country, OTT HydroMet plays a key role in this huge initiative. The State Road A1 is Serbia’s lifeline. Reaching from the Hungarian border to Serbia’s capital Belgrade and down to North Macedonia, the ...
What are thermistor strings? A thermistor, coined from “thermal” and “resistor”, is a sensor that changes resistance based upon temperature. It is used to measure temperatures within a specified range by using calibration tables to convert from resistance to temperature. Thermistor strings are cables with integrated thermistors, usually pressed into a bead-like node ...
As winter sets in and snow starts to fly, the forecast for snow becomes quite popular among snow removal pros and residents alike. How much is it going to snow? When will it begin? When will it end? We even get a percentage of probability that it will snow, which adds another layer of complexity. The majority of forecasts are centered on these questions but fail to address the question that ...
RWIS devices have historically been expensive, bulky, and difficult to maintain. Now, mini-RWIS devices with advanced camera technologies, sensors, and more are becoming within reach for municipalities and commercial snow removal companies alike. ...
Keeping roads and highways safe is a highly responsible task. In addition to autumn’s and winter’s perils, the increase of weather fluctuations and extreme weather events throughout the year pose further challenges to road decision-makers. Ideally, a dense network of road weather ...
(IGS) won a project from the Ministry of Transport and Communications (SCT) to modernize and install new Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) along federal bridges and highways in Querétaro, Mexico. These include eight Automatic Road Weather Information Systems (SWIS), which provide road conditions, ...
In the South German City Geislingen, a road weather system has been providing important data on road weather conditions and environmental conditions since the beginning of 2016. A non-invasive NIRS31 ground sensor, a WS400 compact weather sensor and a camera are the most important components of ...
Gallen in Switzerland with an innovative road weather system. It consists of the contactless surface sensor StaRWIS delivering the road conditions dry, damp, wet, icy, snow-covered, critically wet and chemically wet. Furthermore, it is able to output road surface temperatures, water films up to 6 mm, dew point ...
In addition, a road weather sensor is connected, which observes the conditions on the road surface. There are surface-embedded and non-invasive, spectroscopic sensors. Examples of embedded road weather sensors are the active ARS31Pro and the passive IRS31Pro from Lufft. ...
End of 2012 Lufft USA won the bid for the installation of 20 new ARWIS systems (ice warning systems) for Upper Peninsula in Michigan. The acceptance of the bid resulted not only from the price evaluation of the available deals, it was also rated the technical solution. Luffts´ open system architecture (open interfaces , intelligent sensors, easy integration of sensors from other ...
The Russian route M5 (also known as the Ural Highway) is a major trunk road running across a distance of 1879 km from Moscow to the Ural Mountains. In a long-term project 98 road weather information stations (RWIS) will be installed along this motorway by our partner OJSC Moscow Roads. 42 RWIS stations are already in operation. Every station includes one of our non-invasive road condition sensor ...
They form the base of omnidirectional systems; integrating people and processes for better decision-making. These interactions enable smart new applications such as connected vehicles. Future-proof city and road management systems rely on smart sensors and analysers, such as road weather information ...
It was founded in 2015 and provides PaaS (Platform as a Service) turnkey solutions for data collection and analysis in which everything is included – from the sensors and connectors to the customized dashboards integrated in GIS (Geographical Information Systems). Mobile Tech People’s solutions: Inform citizens on local air quality via connected screens, mobile ...
Info on market trends in traffic management – presentation of latest technology – future developments City and road management relies on smart sensor and analyzing systems, such as (road) weather sensors delivering (big) data feeding future-proof digital services to facilitate life, improve safety and become ...
With the browser-based monitoring software ViewMondo, we offer an elegant management solution for mobile and stationary weather stations since mid-2015. Once implemented, all measuring stations can be found on a map and can be evaluated in real-time. However, over the time since the introduction of the smart software, it has gained new functions than mentioned in August 2015 ...
Since 2001 AEVEKO and Lufft form a strong team regarding the sales and installation of environmental as well as traffic weather stations. In the following Nektarios Saroukos reports on his most memorable projects in Greece which were completed in 2016. Tsakona Arch ...
The European norm DIN EN 15518-3:2011 is a guideline for stationary sensors for road weather information systems and describes their requirements. The European standards are abbreviated as “DIN EN” in Germany and have the same numbers as the EN norms. ...
