- Slide 1
- Mobile friction observations and thermal mapping in Testbed
area Helsinki Testbed mesoscale course Toni Hellinen and Marjo
Hippi
- Slide 2
- Motivations Interest of using new equipments Researching the
spatial fluctuation of road temperature and friction Finding the
sensitive places of road slipperiness Identification of different
weather phenomena that cause slipperiness on roads
- Slide 3
- Vaisala Remote Road Surface Condition Sensor DSC111 Remote
surface state sensing Measuring thickness of water ice slush snow
or frost layer friction coefficient (0-1) Parallel use with remote
temperature sensor Both attached to vehicle
- Slide 4
- Observations Mobile measurements from ColdSpots project data
Comparable data from road weather stations in Testbed area Mobile
measurements were done in interesting weather situations Thawing
period Snowing period Cold slippery (surface temperature below -7 C
and light snow) Slush period
