Vaisala Remote Road Surface State
Sensor DSC111
Vaisala Remote Road Surface State Sensor DSC111 eliminates
disruption to the road surface and to traffic, which was previously
associated with the installation of a road weather station. Due to remote
installation, there is no need to slot-cut the surface or close the road.
The spectroscopic measuring principle enables accurate measurement
of the amounts of water, ice, and snow. In addition, DSC111 provides a
measurement of slipperiness and reports the state of the road surface.
DSC111 also includes an integrated visibility sensor that provides a
very cost-effective solution for detecting low-visibility conditions.
To configure DSC111, proceed as follows:
1. Open an existing setup in the Setup view or create a new one.
2. Proceed to the Additional sensors view.
3. Select DSC111 from the Available list and click the Add button to
insert the sensor into the setup.
4. Select the port in the Options frame and check the given default
values for parameters.
