Sommer SPA Snow Pack Analyser
After years of research, several test stations Sommer finally is able to present the SPA Snow Pack Analyser. The SPA system measures snow water equivalent (SWE), snow depths, snow density and content of liquid water and ice. Based on these parameters even the run off time of water can be predicted. The system is not affected by ice layers. The SPA is simple and convenient to install and allows automatic and continuous measurement. Through “standby” between measuring phases and optimised for solar-powered stations the SPA offers energy-saving sensor operation.

RWIS “Mini” Remote Processing Unit
RWIS provide important information about weather and roadway conditions, helping operations and maintenance personnel stay informed so that they can make timely decisions and improve traffic safety. Full RWIS stations typically require new right-of-way space with a dedicated pad, tower, cabinet, fence, and utility work, which all contribute to the high price and complex installation. Many road weather related decisions need to be made in locations where Advance Traffic Controller (ATC) cabinets [with power and communications] are already established.
