Project description
INTELLIGENT ICE DETECTOR SYSTEM
Description
Integrated system developed to detect the possibility of ice formation on roads and alert drivers, at the same time, with visual warnings so they can reduce their speed and drive carefully.
The system consists of a Transmitter which analyses the information and transmits to the Receiver. Whenever there is possibility of ice formation, the Receiver triggers the warning system, which keep operating until effective temperature and humidity stabilises again.
Ice Detection System
- SR-IDS Transmitter: temperature sensor, humidity sensor, RF transmitter, controller
- Get the measurements and process the information by RF to the SR-IDS Receiver
- SR-IDS Receiver: RF receiver, controller
- Takes the information from the SR-IDS Transmitter
- Receptor module Remote Ice Adviser sets warning signals when there is probability of ice formation on road
Warning System
- Road Studs
- Vertical LED Sign ‘Remote Ice Adviser’
