Ice Detection is an Advanced Warning System utilizing Surface Temperature that is measured by an accurate, non-contact infrared temperature sensor.  Air temperature is also measured achieving higher levels of detection accuracy and driver notification.

The USDOT Federal Highway Administration data lists an average of 1,836 deaths, 136,309 injuries and 536,731 crashes per year due to snowy and icy roads.  The figures below represent a 10 year average between 2005 and 2014.

• System alerts vehicle operators or pedestrians of hazardous icy road conditions by locally or remotely flashing Warning Signs.
• Provides surface temperature and air temperature measurements that will collectively be used to maximize detection accuracy.
• Flashing Sign Systems are triggered directly from a Non-Invasive Road Surface Condition Sensor.
• Can be used to trigger other signs within a configured network.

Ice Detection and Advanced Warning System Fully Configurable through:

NETWORK SYSTEM

A deployed Surface Temperature Sensor is placed at the ingress to a bridge deck or over pass, communicating road surface conditions to a network sign placed up to 1000 feet away.  This notification triggers an LED Enhanced Advanced Warning Sign, advising drivers of icy road conditions ahead.

SINGLE SIGN AND SENSOR

A Single Sign and Surface Temperature Sensor is placed at the ingress to a bridge deck, over pass or any location where advance notification is required.  This notification triggers an LED Enhanced Advanced Warning Sign advising drivers of icy road conditions.
