Italy: Road Weather Modeling
Project Summary |
|
Application Description: Road Weather Modeling with a mobile system Location: Perugia, Italy Products Used: CR10X CD294 Contributors: University of Perugia and Ecosearch, a systems integrator Contracting Agencies: Province of Perugia Measured Parameters: In mobile system: road temperature (infrared and surface temperature), geographic position (GPS), and distance (odometer) In field stations: meteorological parameters plus soil temperature, conductivity, heat flux, and surface wetness |
The Province of Perugia recently set up a program for forecasting of ice formation on road surfaces. The program is operated by the University of Perugia and Ecosearch, a Campbell Scientific systems integrator based in Italy. The first part of the program will verify the relationship between meteorological parameters indicating possible ice formation and the actual formation of ice a three selected sites. An additional objective is to determine the variability of road surface temperature.
