Sunderland City Council, GB improves timeliness of winter road treatments with new sensors

Sunderland City Council, GB Winter Road Treatment Sensors

The city's Winter Maintenance team receives real-time data on road conditions from 10 infrared sensors. Each sensor gathers air temperature, surface temperature, and dew points at a heavily used road. This sensor network uses a BAI Communications wireless network for reliable data transmission. Council officials combine forecasts from DTN Roadmaster with weather station and sensor data when deciding on road treatments in winter.
