RoadWatch Road Temperature Measuring System

RoadWatch Road Temperature Measuring System

Overview

RoadWatch Road Temperature Measuring System uses state-of-the-art infrared measuring, which assures accurate, real-time road surface temperature information critical to proper deployment of anti-icing and de-icing materials, as well as an alert of  existing hazardous conditions for driver safety. Road Watch Sensor will accurately sense a one-degree change in road temperature in one-tenth of a second. An early warning system (leveraging road sensors and temperature sensors) within RoadWatch Sensor alerts the driver when the road surface temperature dips to thirty-seven degrees or below. RoadWatch® SS Temperature Measuring System was originally developed to assist highway and public works departments to determine when and where to apply road treatment chemicals. But this innovative Road Watch Sensor can benefit all kinds of other drivers too! The Road Watch® SS Road Temperature Measuring System is already in use throughout North America and Europe. Using its unique early warning road sensors and temperature sensors, city and state highway departments along with airports rely on RoadWatch SS to tell them when to treat road surfaces when hazardous driving conditions are created. Road Watch® SS is mainly used by Departments of Transportation (Municipalities: local, state and federal), and can also be used as a Tool for De-Icing or Line Painting on Asphalt.

Details 
RoadWatch® SS Road Temperature Measuring System shows the actual road temperature and outside air temperature. Road Watch® SS assures accurate, real-time road surface temperature information critical to proper deployment of anti-icing and de-icing materials. When the road surface temperature indicates 35 degrees Fahrenheit, the visual alert notifies drivers of approaching deployment conditions. To further optimize utility and cost efficiency, Road Watch SS with RS-232 has the capability of communicating both air and road temperature data to other equipment or systems. Road Watch® SS is Designed for Zero Maintenance. Road Watch® SS is The Cost Effective Answer
