Mobile sensors are increasing in popularity throughout the transportation industry. They are typically deployed to observe environmental conditions from any type of vehicle. Vehicle-mounted sensors can be utilized to sense air temperature, pavement temperature and atmospheric conditions. Mobile data provides quick, real-time information for decision-making on the go, and it supplements fixed information sites with additional details.
The Surface Patrol pavement probe is mounted outside your vehicle and continuously monitors road surface temperatures, providing instant feedback on road surface conditions. The Surface Patrol has separate air temperature sensor and cabling so that it can be placed away from direct sunlight.
The Surface Patrol can be calibrated in the field, ensuring you are always getting the most accurate readings. In addition, the pavement probe features a cone design protecting it from spray, which, if it gets dirty, can greatly decrease accuracy.
The easy-to-use Surface Patrol is valuable for large agencies such as Departments of Transportation all the way down to smaller companies with only a few trucks. The data retrieved from the Surface Patrol is accurate and real-time, making it a reliable method for collecting pavement information.
