The mobile sensor provides:
- Surface state information, including:
- Grip
- Surface state
- Surface layer thicknesses
- Surface temperature
- Air temperature
- Dew point and frost point
- Relative humidity
The data collection and sensor management system can be a spreader system in a winter maintenance vehicle (for example, snow plow truck), a road monitoring system in a vehicle (for example, patrol car), or any other data collection system.
The data collection system maps the mobile road sensor data to a geographic location.
The communication uses the RS-232 interface.
