摘要：This paper provides an overview of remote pavement weather sensing technology and applications for thetransportation industry.Components of remote pavement weather sensing systems and applied applications:1. Surface sensors embedded in the pavement sense and record pavement temperature and pavement conditions(dry, wet, chemically wet [surface temperature ~O°C with sufficient deicing chemical to prevent icing], ice/snow,dew and frost).2. Atmospheric sensors that sense and record air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction,precipitation (type [rain or snow] and intensities).3. Data processing units, data handlers, color enhanced computer workstations, and system software that provideinstant recognition of significant changes in pavement weather conditions.4. A numerical weather forecasting computer model based on the heat balance equation, developed and refined tosupport the first centralized weather forecasting facility established solely to provide ice/snow control guidance.5. Weather instruction and system education for ice and snow control managers.Technology advances continue in weather instrumentation, remote pavement sensing, computer design and function,computer software, and communications. Although relatively new when compared to weather instrumentationinstalled by the National Weather Service (NWS) at commercial airports, remote road and runway weather stationsfor ice and snow control now number over six hundred installed throughout 44 of the United States.Real-time pavement specific weather information provides meteorologists with required data for improved pavementtemperature and pavement condition prediction that can reduce the estimated 2 billion dollars spent annually onice/snow control in North America.
