Surface sensors

These sensors accurately detect and measure surface temperature and condition, chemical concentration and black ice.

Remote Surface State Sensor

Provides an accurate reading of surface conditions, including water, ice and snow amounts and a high resolution value for grip level. Pole mounted roadside set-up eliminates the disruption caused by slot-cutting, making installation and maintenance relatively easy. Can be used as a stand alone system on bridge decks, in remote locations or as part of an existing ROSA weather station.

Remote Surface Temperature Sensor

Measures surface temperature via emitted infrared radiation. Pole mounted roadside set-up eliminates the disruption caused by slot-cutting, making installation and maintenance relatively easy. Can be used as a stand alone system on bridge decks, in remote locations or as part of an existing ROSA weather station.

Road / Runway Surface and Depth Sensor

This thermally passive multi-variable sensor measures road / runway surface and subsurface temperatures, as well as water layer thickness, black ice and chemical levels.

Overhead Wire Sensor

A non-contact multi-variable sensor measuring overhead wire temperature and state (water / ice layer thickness, presence of snow etc).

Bridge Surface Sensor

A sensor with shallower physical dimensions to enable installation on bridge decks.

Conductor Rail Sensor

This thermally passive multi-variable sensor measures conductor rail temperatures and state (water / ice layer thickness, presence of snow etc).
