6478 Lufft, known globally for its Marwis road weather sensor, will be featuring an array sensors for mobile or stationary road weather information systems (RWIS) and automated weather observation sensors (AWOS). They consist of, amongst others, professional all-in-one weather sensors such as the  WS800, road sensors, including the IRS31PRO-UMB, as well as visibility sensors, like the VS2k and VS20k. These technologies warn against slipperiness, imminent black ice, aquaplaning, precipitation, fog and other kinds of traffic dangers.

The company points to the real-world benefits of its sensor range: not only is traffic safety significantly improved, but also weather-related accident evidence is recorded. Moreover, Lufft’s  sensors help to save on de-icing chemicals and to protect the environment.
