Key IoT Sensor Metrics for Road Surface Monitoring

Our IoT sensors continuously measure essential parameters that influence road conditions and driving safety.

Infrared Pyrometer
Infrared pyrometers provide non contact measurement of road surface temperature. This enables accurate detection of freezing conditions and temperature changes that directly impact road safety.

Air Temperature
Air temperature measurements help assess how quickly road surfaces may cool or warm. This data supports forecasting of frost and icing risks.

Air Humidity
Humidity levels influence moisture formation on road surfaces. Monitoring air humidity helps identify conditions that may lead to condensation, frost, or reduced traction.

Road Surface Temperature
Direct road surface temperature measurement is critical for determining real driving conditions. This data supports timely interventions such as salting, gritting, or traffic warnings.

Dew Point Temperature
Dew point temperature indicates when moisture in the air may condense or freeze on the road surface. Monitoring dew point helps predict icing before it becomes visible or dangerous.

Safer Roads Through Real Time Monitoring

By combining road surface temperature, air conditions, and dew point measurements, road authorities gain a complete picture of evolving road conditions. This enables faster response times, safer travel, and more efficient maintenance operations.

Benefits of IoT Sensors for Road Surface Monitoring

Improved Road Safety
Real time monitoring enables early detection of hazardous conditions, reducing the risk of accidents caused by ice or reduced traction.

Proactive Winter Maintenance
Accurate data allows road operators to deploy de icing and gritting measures only when necessary, improving effectiveness and reducing waste.

Reduced Operational Costs
Targeted maintenance based on real conditions lowers material usage, fuel consumption, and labor costs.

Improved Traffic Flow
Early warnings and preventive measures help minimize road closures, delays, and disruptions during adverse weather conditions.

Data Driven Decision Making
Reliable sensor data supports informed planning, reporting, and long term infrastructure strategies.

Support for Smart Mobility and Infrastructure
Road surface monitoring forms a critical foundation for smart city initiatives and intelligent transportation systems.

Safer roads start with accurate measurement. Monitor road surface conditions in real time and act before hazards arise.
