Lufft exhibit ‘all season’ sensors

Lufft, known globally for its Marwis road weather sensor, is 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 tr

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 weatherrelated accident evidence is recorded. Moreover, Lufft’s sensors help to save on de-icing chemicals and to protect the environment.

  • Options abound for road weather sensing
    September 6, 2017
    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.
