SurfaceVue 10
OrderableFixed-Location, Non-Invasive Road Surface Condition and Temperature Sensor
A fixed-location road surface condition sensor that uses spectral analyiss of optical reflection signals to provide data.
Overview
The SurfaceVue™10 is a road condition sensor designed for use with your Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS). This non-invasive sensor uses spectroscopic analysis to provide you with surface state, friction, water, and ice layer thickness data. The SurfaceVue 10 also measures surface temperature, air temperature, dew point, air pressure, and wind speed parameters. This data provides you with vital information to make better maintenance and operational decisions.
Key Advantages
