6478 Lufft USA’s new high quality WMO-compliant weather sensor, the WS3000, part of the company’s new WS1000 series, measures air temperature, relative humidity and air pressure.

Relative humidity is measured by means of a heated capacitive sensor element; a precision PT100 measuring element is used to measure air temperature. A resonant pressure transducer is employed for precise pressure measurement. Measurement output can be accessed by UMB-Binary, UMB-ASCII, SDI-12, MODBUS and NMEA protocols.

    Richard Turnock, chief technology officer of Kapsch TrafficCom North America explains what advantages its newly-opened TDM protocol can offer as a US-wide standard for tolling interoperability. The electronic tolling industry across the United States is evolving. Historically it was characterised by clusters of interoperability where a motorist may be able to use the same transponder across a large area, such as the 15-State E-ZPass system, or be confined to a single State system. Now, however, the industry
