Pavement Forecasts
Road and bridge icing and frost can be serious problems during the fall, winter and spring seasons. Weather Command’s proprietary pavement prediction algorithms can provide you with the necessary information that will allow you to take proactive measures that will keep bridges and other road surfaces safe for motorists traveling on your roads. This will in turn help you to minimize manpower and materials, yet at the same time maximize safety on your roads. This means less chance of costly lawsuits due to inaction on your part.
Strategically placed road sensors also provide additional information that will greatly enhance the benefits listed above. These sensors will provide continuous information about the temperature of the pavement, the sub-surface ground temperature, the road surface condition, and the salt content of any water, slush or snow on the surface. The combination of this information with the pavement forecasts allows Weather Command’s meteorologists to make an hour-by-hour forecast of the pavement surface condition.
If your need includes the purchase and installation of pavement sensors, Weather Command has a close working relationship with several pavement sensor vendors.
