Winter road maintenance professionals need to monitor road conditions and predict surface freezing risk across the road network to make proactive treatment decisions. They'll want the most accurate systems but they can be costly to maintain over the long run. Vaisala's latest Wx Horizon Premium is a no-maintenance cost system; a weather hazard impact portal. It delivers insights into current and future road conditions but is sold as a subscription service meaning there are no ongoing maintenance costs or large upfront investments. Wx Horizon allows road maintenance organisations to prepare for upcoming storms with high-quality pavement and atmospheric forecasts. To deliver this critical information and keep it relevant for use specifically in transportation, the system fuses measurements with industry-leading weather forecasting and road weather models. At the heart of this service is Vaisla's Ground Cast Sensor. It measures road surface temperature and the amount of residual treatment material, providing highway maintenance teams with reference grade observations and location-specific forecasts. |
