Road Weather Station

Reliable and affordable multi-sensor device

By providing real-time data on how weather impacts local road conditions, authorities can see, at a very granular local level, whether winter road treatments are necessary or not. The operators can make informed decisions on treatments and easier evaluate actions.

Not limited to the roadside, the multi-sensor device can also play a significant role in monitoring the conditions of cycle path networks and car parks etc., enabling operators to keep areas safe for use.

IoT Road Weather Stations

RWIS IoT

The road weather station measures the road surface temperature, the air temperature and the air humidity. Calculated values are road status and road weather forecasts (18/24 hours) for road surface temperature, dew point and precipitation.
The installation of the station only takes about an hour. The batteries lasts 36-48 months and are easily replacable.

RWIS IoT with Camera

With added camera and solar panel you also get real-time images of the road. The camera is GDPR-compliant, so no registration plates or faces are recognized, updated pictures every 15 minutes in winter season, and is easily reached in our RSI platform. The solar panel prolongs the batteries lasting time.
You can also get the camera and solar panel as a stand alone product to upgrade the station you have today.

Significantly lower cost than existing weather station technology. The installation costs are also considerably lower as there's no need for mains power or communications.

As the product is IoT, it has its internal battery which will last 2-3 years. The solution is a self-sustaining system that requires very little maintenance.

The product communication works on Internet of Things technology. It is optimized to work on the Sigfox network but will also easily integrate with other IoT providers, removing the need for sim cards, modems, and the associated costs that arise from this.

The solution, dependent on configuration can also provide reports on weather data, activity data, rain data, soil moisture data, and water level data.

The data is easily accessible from a purpose-built browser-based software platform where alarms can be set, and notifications can be delivered when self-determined values are reached. This functionality automates the monitoring process, removing the need to have users constantly monitor data. The data comes in the form of an API so can also be fed into other weather monitoring and forecasting systems if necessary.

Klimator monitors the unit and sends alerts if the station is not sending data. A wizard will help your maintenance workers safely through a service visit.

By enabling more definitive decisions on road treatments, significant environmental savings will be met and the safety of highway workers will be enhanced. Definitive decisions supported by data-led information will drive a reduction in vehicle wear and tear, fuel used, treatments used, salt used, and the reduction in quarrying for minerals. This will also lead to reduced demand on supply chain logistic environmental impacts. In addition, no new power supply is needed, contributing to a significantly lower environmental impact. An impactful reduction in carbon and emissions will be achieved.

A lightweight product that can be installed on a purpose-built lightweight column. With minimum installation time, the need to create high volume congestion on the highway network will be negated. A web based wizard will help your fieldworkers safely through an installation.
