Roadway Environmental Monitoring Equipment Package

 Architecture Geographic Scope

Description:

 This Equipment package measures environmental conditions and communicates the collected information back to a center where it can be monitored and analyzed. A broad array of general weather and road surface information may be collected. Weather conditions that may be measured include temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility. Surface and sub-surface sensors can measure road surface temperature, moisture, icing, salinity, and other measures.

 

Included in:

 TxDOT Odessa District Field Sensors
