Modernization of ITS on the Querétaro motorway, Mexico
Our Mexican Partner Ingeniería Geofísica y Sistema S.A. de C.V. (IGS) won a project from the Ministry of Transport and Communications (SCT) to modernize and install new Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) along federal bridges and highways in Querétaro, Mexico. These include eight Automatic Road Weather Information Systems (SWIS), which provide road conditions, temperatures, friction and other information.

Visibility Sensor VS2k-UMB
New product version of the known Lufft VS20 visibility sensor with a measurement range of 10...2000m, easy calibration functionality, sea waterproof housing and (active) spider defence
The VS2k visibility sensor measures visibility up to 2000m, ideal for road traffic applications on motorways, highways or bridges. Long life time is guaranteed thanks to the sea-water proof housing design.
- Visibility (measuring range 10 ... 2000 m, resolution 1 m)
- 45° forward light scattering
- suitable for extreme ambient conditions, active spider defence, seawater resistant, compatible interfaces
- RS-485, analogue output
