Mobile Road Condition Monitor

Mobile road and runway real-time condition and weather monitoring.

The sensor measures the optical reflection signals and analyses the data to produce a road surface condition and friction report, including ice/water depth.

Low maintenance

The system is almost maintenance free, with only cleaning of lenses required to keep the system working as new.

Cost effective monitoring

With a low purchasing and life cycle costs, the total measurement system provides a very cost-effective way to measure surface conditions.

Install in any vehiclesaltsenseadmin2022-04-28T22:04:42+00:00

Install in any vehicle

Installation is fast and easy in any vehicle thanks to the small physical size, from gritters to passenger vehicles. It’s also easily transferable to another vehicle.
