The SurfaceVue™10 is a road condition sensor designed for use with your Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS). This non-invasive sensor uses spectroscopic analysis to provide you with surface state, friction, water, and ice layer thickness data. The SurfaceVue 10 also measures surface temperature, air temperature, dew point, air pressure, and wind speed parameters. This data provides you with vital information to make better maintenance and operational decisions.
Benefits and Features
Non-contact sensor to reduce costs associated with installation and maintenance
Proven performance and reliability to make confident maintenance and operational decisions
Simple sensor calibration when using Campbell Scientific road weather solutions
No moving parts for minimal maintenance and long lifespan
Easy installation for completion any time of year with no disruption to traffic
