Overview
|
Weather affects all modes of transportation, and Road / Runway Weather Information System (RWIS) technology
provides vital information on pavement and weather conditions needed for both
highway and airport maintenance operations. RWIS enables maintenance and
operations personnel to monitor changing weather conditions in real time and make
informed and timely decisions.
An RWIS system can consist of multiple sites, each containing a suite of sensors that gather weather and pavement data and then report to a central location where authorized personnel can view the information. Vaisala RWIS stations collect atmospheric, pavement surface, sub-surface and video data remotely to provide the most accurate pavement specific weather information available.
