First-of-Its Kind Mobile Sensor Technology Revolutionizes Road Maintenance Industry
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Industry Leader Vaisala Launches Cross-Country Tour
February 1, 2012 - For the first time, road maintenance departments now have the
ability to access weather data from their entire networks of roads with mobile
sensor technology developed by Vaisala, a global leader in environmental
management.
To coincide with the announcement of its Condition Patrol technology, the
company is launching Vaisala Across America, a cross-country tour to start
February 1 from the company's U.S. headquarters in Louisville, Colorado. The
tour will visit more than 40 cities over 16 weeks.
"Vaisala is excited to offer this first-of-its-kind mobile data collection
system for our road customers in cities, counties and departments of
transportation around the country. We look forward to giving our U.S. customers
and the public a unique, hands-on experience with the product during the Vaisala
Across America tour," said Antero Jarvinen, Director of Vaisala's Road and Rail
Market Segment.
Vaisala developed Condition Patrol in response to industry demands for mobile
solutions. The system allows road maintenance crews to gather pavement
temperature, air temperature, road conditions, and road friction levels from
across their entire network of roads. The data is collected using laser and
infrared observations from sensors mounted on maintenance vehicles as opposed to
fixed spots along authorities' road networks. The real-time data is then
downloaded to a software program that provides recommendations to the
maintenance supervisor about road treatment options, allowing them to make more
informed decisions - which in turn reduces costs and improves road safety for
all drivers.
To provide up-to-the minute updates on tour stops and data from the road,
Vaisala has launched a website for Vaisala Across America,
www.vaisala.com/mobiletour. Vaisala Across America will end at the Intelligent
Transportation Systems America Annual Meeting and Exposition in National Harbor,
MD.
