Mobile real time weather data collection

With a measuring frequency of 100 values per second, the Marwis mobile road weather sensor from 6478 Lufft  is suitable for use by meteorological services, airports, road administrations, civil services and municipalities.

Directly installed in a vehicle, the sensor measures road conditions and environmental data, in any place and at any time.

The sensor comes with an iOS App for all Apple output devices and will shortly be available for Android devices. It shows all relevant data, based on customer settings and helps to calibrate the device for each vehicle within a few minutes. The measurement values are updated every second, but can also be set for longer intervals via the app. As data are is stored in the cloud, it is available everywhere in the wireless network.

    Near-fit technology can provide the solution - just ask the question.
    When a company launches a product it never quite knows how that product will be used and what else it may be required to do. Lufft’s mobile weather sensor MARWIS is a prime example. Last winter Lufft introduced MARWIS, its mobile road weather sensor, handing it initially to long-term sales partners to test and improve. What was known was the sensor’s fast reaction rate (up to 100 Hertz), combined with its wide range of measurement information, and would provide users with a gapless overview of the road stat
