VIGIL'ICE is a wireless road sensor, patented by METEO OMNIUM in 2021. This road sensor is mainly used for winter viability (RWIS / road weather information systems). Road surfaces are subjected to great temperature fluctuations. The reading VIGIL'ICE collects allow anticipating and thus better managing road surface treatments to prevent black ice and frost. These readings are strategic for road network operators both for road maintenance and user security.
Once sealed in the road surface, the VIGIL'ICE sensor does not require any maintenance : its installation is simple and connects in less than 5 minutes. It is powered by a long life battery (9 to 10 years). The battery can be replaced in our workshops. Data is transmitted every 6 minutes to the receiver.
This road sensor is mostly used for winter viability (RWIS) : it allows collecting various data points such as the road surface temperature, temperature at depth below the road surface, humidity in the road surface, concentration of de-icing materials laid on the surface, freezing temperature and thickness of the water film.
It can be a wireless surface temperature sensors for asphalt and pavement roads.
