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.

    Collecting speed and travel time data without using roadside infrastructure could offer new possibilities to cash-strapped road authorities. Streaming video may be useful for traffic controllers to monitor incidents and automatic number plate recognition may be required for enforcement, but neither are necessary for many ITS functions. For instance travel times, tailbacks, percentage of vehicles turning, origin and destination analysis can all be done using Bluetooth and/or WI-Fi sensors and without video o
