Mobile Applications
Mobile applications require diverse vehicle mounted weather sensor types and the ability to provide theoretical wind speed and direction to address moving weather sensing applications. Mobile applications include {but not limited to} the following:
- Intelligent Transportation—What are the local road conditions? What is our proper response? Salt, sand, close road?
- Local Weather Data via Mobile Sensing—Collecting weather data as we drive provides a hyper-local view of the road conditions over a specific metropolitan area or region.
- Road Construction—Are the conditions optimal/acceptable for asphalt paving?
- Spraying: Agriculture, Insect and Vegetation Control—Are the weather conditions legally acceptable to apply?
The AIRMAR WX Series is unique because it calculates both theoretical and apparent wind speed and direction.
All WeatherStation® WX models have our core data sensors delivering:
