JW-CQ11(YN12)Road Surface Condition Sensor is a non-intrusive infrared monitoring device designed for real-time pavement condition detection. It helps identify road surface status such as dry, damp, wet, icy, snowy, or frosty conditions, making it ideal for highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, and intelligent transportation systems.
2. Product Overview
JW-CQ11(YN12)Road Surface Condition Sensor is built for accurate and continuous road weather monitoring without damaging the pavement. Using infrared detection technology and remote measurement, it can monitor key surface condition data to support traffic safety, winter road maintenance, and smart transportation decision-making.
Unlike embedded sensors, this sensor is installed above the road surface with a bracket, making deployment easier and maintenance more convenient. It is especially suitable for road weather information systems, expressways, municipal roads, airport runways, bridge decks, and tunnel entrances where real-time pavement status is critical.
By providing reliable road condition data, this sensor helps operators improve winter maintenance efficiency, reduce accident risks, and strengthen traffic warning systems.
