thermo-Q Radar Traffic Classifier
Quixote Transportation Technologies, Inc. (QTT) has released a new non-intrusive pavement temperature sensor known as the thermo-Q™ sensor. The thermo-Qsensor is designed for non-contact measurement and utilizes infrared technology to detect pavement temperature and provide remote measuring of road surface temperature.
According to Jon Tarleton, marketing manager for QTT, the pavement temperature is the most important and most widely used piece of roadway information utilized during winter weather. The technology helps decision-makers determine when pavements will freeze and QTT’s thermo-Q sensor provides accurate readings at an economic value. The robust infrared sensor measures pavement temperature accurately and provides stationary, single target monitoring.
“The thermo-Q sensor was designed using the latest road weather technology and provides customers with a non-intrusive option for measuring pavement temperature,” explains Jon Tarleton, Marketing Manager for QTT. “The trend in the industry is roadway sensors that are not placed directly into the road; this improves the safety of those maintaining the equipment and lowers the cost of maintaining them. Our customers can now choose the sensor that best meets all their needs.”
The thermo-Q sensor is a smart alternative to an invasive sensor that requires lane closures and cutting of the roadway. The thermo-Q sensor is easy to install and has low maintenance requirements because personnel can be safely on the side of the road while installing or maintaining it. The sensor has the ability to be mounted on an existing road weather station or other structure where a clear, unobstructed view of the pavement is available. Thus, the thermo-Q sensor can be used with your existing SSI® RWIS network (any platform).
