1766 High Sierra Electronics and 1767 Innovative Dynamics have announced a partnership focusing on the ITS industry through which new optical sensor products originally developed by Innovative Dynamics for the aerospace industry are being manufactured by HSE for use in the transportation sectors.

HSE has full manufacturing rights to Innovative Dynamics's IceSight, a remote sensor that uses laser and infrared electrooptical technology to determine the conditions of the road surface. The sensor's standard data output includes air temperature, surface temperature, eight distinct surface indications, a surface friction coefficient and a soiled optics indication. HSE says these compact and rugged sensors can be deployed on existing traffic poles or structures using standard Astro-Brac or similar hardware. These openprotocol sensors are networkready and can be deployed alone or as part of a NTCIPcompliant road weather system.
