Vaisala Monitoring Systems Vaisala Systems

From critical sensors to complete road weather systems — tools to support weather decisions throughout the year Increased road usage. More severe weather. Limited budgets. Ever-increasing public expectations. Road maintenance professionals are facing more year-round challenges than ever before. Yet you still need to keep your road network safe and continuously available, even with these increased demands. No matter what the weather, you can count on Vaisala’s exclusive combination of hardware, software and services to provide you with the critical information required to make data-driven,...

Vaisala Sensors Reliable observation is at the heart of what we do Proven accuracy in the most demanding environments Every monitoring network begins with reliable sensors. Vaisala sensors are used by thousands of customers around the world in a variety of applications, both on their own and paired with Vaisala weather stations. They are designed to perform in the most austere environments, from extreme cold to sweltering, high-humidity conditions. Vaisala’s sensors are so reliable, in fact, the company has twice been selected by NASA to place sensors on Mars Rover projects. They’re fully...

Vaisala Mobile Detector MD30 Sensor Tracking for real-time road data The MD30 mobile sensor tracks road conditions and transmits road weather data — including road surface state, grip, relative humidity, dew point and road and air temperature — from snow plows or other vehicles. The sensor distributes precise data to supervisors and other decision-makers at the city, county and state levels — without disruption — to help ensure the best possible decisions. The MD30 works well as a stand-alone sensor or to help fill in the data gaps between stationary weather stations.

Robust durability The compact MD30 was purpose-built to transmit data from snow plows operating in the most demanding winter conditions. Molded to withstand continuous vibration (from rugged roads to running engines and scraping plows) while preventing water ingress, the sensor’s robust design ensures the collection of reliable road weather data in any weather conditions. Because it was built with the harshest environments in mind, it is suitable for any vehicle type, including patrol cars. A fraction of the cost of a road weather information station, the MD30 provides valuable measurements...

Vaisala DSP100 Surface Patrol Pavement Mobile Temperature Sensor Detect freezing risk with temperature data While roadside weather stations provide accurate and continuous observations from fixed locations, they can’t provide information on road conditions between stations. Mobile sensors feeding the Vaisala RoadDSS system provide an easy way to collect road weather data on those in-between locations, providing a more holistic view of weather conditions across the entire network. Live data for winter maintenance operators "While roadside weather stations provide accurate and continuous...

while necessary, do have an Vaisala Monitoring Systems on the environment. By impact RWS200 road weather station: reliable multisensor roadside data collection putting the data provided by the DSP100 to work, unnecessary chemical spreading can be Easy installation and worry-free reduced. That not only reduces performance the environmental impact, it also reduces the costs associated with Flexibility to work today — and tomorrow inefficient chemical usage. With advanced algorithms and smart power management, the RWS200 is intelligently designed to keep all paired sensors running reliably. It...

Thermal Mapping Observation-based temperature profiles of your entire road network Thermal Mapping helps road authorities ensure that they treat when and where it is needed on their network with an observation-based solution to create thermal road profiles. It provides you with the full picture when making treatment decisions and locating weather stations. Intelligence-based road weather station positioning You need to locate your weather station in the most effective location to get a full picture across your network so you can make decisions based on the best information possible. However...

Turn Data Into Decisions The Vaisala RoadDSS® software suite Access your road weather data anytime, anywhere Know the road conditions before the weather hits Vaisala’s RoadDSS software suite is designed to provide you with an effective solution for the storage and display of both historic and current road weather data, ensuring you have access to your information anytime and anywhere, from any device. Being able to predict and potentially prevent the impact of weather hazards before they occur is crucial. RoadDSS offers pavement temperature and road weather forecasts so you can view...

Vaisala RoadAI System Dynamic road management through real-time videos and AI-powered mobile data Vaisala’s computer vision-powered data collection platform, RoadAI, leverages wireless connectivity and cloud technology to make safe, continuous data generation possible for entire road teams or fleets of vehicles through real-time visual information. Changing information, such as blowing snow or fleet vehicle location, can easily be captured using onboard cameras and mobile sensors. Data is automatically geo-referenced and mapped into the system, empowering everyone from highway engineers to...
