The Road Sensor DRS511 from Vaisala enables you to collect real-time surface data that can be used to monitor road and runway conditions, optimize maintenance operations, and increase the effectiveness of surface treatments.

Embedded directly into the pavement, the DRS511 sensor measures a combination of the current amount of chemical applied, concentration, and temperatures to determine whether there is enough salt on the road to prevent the pavement from icing over during inclement weather.

Cars can drive over the DRS511 without harming it, and there’s a smaller version for use on bridges or other applications that require a smaller sensor.

Trust Vaisala to help you achieve optimal plowing and de-icing maintenance and to prevent slipperiness in freezing temperatures.
