Surface sensors

These sensors accurately detect and measure surface temperature and condition, chemical concentration and black ice.

Vaisala Remote Road Surface Temperature Sensor DST111

Measures surface temperature via emitted infrared radiation. Pole mounted roadside set-up eliminates the disruption caused by slot-cutting, making installation and maintenance relatively easy. Can be used as a stand alone system on bridge decks, in remote locations or as part of an existing ROSA weather station.

Vaisala Remote Road Surface State Sensor DSC111

Provides an accurate reading of surface conditions, including water, ice and snow amounts and a high resolution value for grip level. Pole mounted roadside set-up eliminates the disruption caused by slot-cutting, making installation and maintenance relatively easy. Can be used as a stand alone system on bridge decks, in remote locations or as part of an existing ROSA weather station.

Vaisala Road / Runway Surface and Depth Sensor DRS511

This thermally passive multi-variable sensor measures road / runway surface and subsurface temperatures, as well as water layer thickness, black ice and chemical levels.

Vaisala Overhead Wire Sensor DRS511

A non-contact multi-variable sensor measuring overhead wire temperature and state (water / ice layer thickness, presence of snow etc).

Vaisala Conductor Rail Sensor DRS511

This thermally passive multi-variable sensor measures conductor rail temperatures and state (e.g. water / ice layer thickness, presence of snow).

Vaisala Bridge Surface Sensor DRS511B

A sensor with shallower physical dimensions to enable installation on bridge decks.
