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.

    Lufft’s MARWIS moves weather
    A mobile road weather sensor is providing authorities with new options for monitoring road conditions and winter maintenance operations. Road and traffic engineers know the vulnerable points in their network – cold spots where ice forms first, high-banked roads where snow accumulates, fog pockets… Traditionally, most authorities will position weather stations at these points to detect and monitor road conditions during bad weather events.

    Options abound for road weather sensing
    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.
