OVERVIEW
TheSSI® Surface Patrol from Quixote Transportation Technologies, Inc. (QTT) is a mobile temperature sensor that features a non-contact infrared sensor for measuring pavement temperature. It also measures the ambient (air) temperature. The Surface Patrol is used to detect possible freezing temperatures on the pavement. The sensor is mounted outside the vehicle and continuously monitors road surface temperatures, providing instant feedback on the road surface conditions. The Surface Patrol is also capable of sending an alert to the driver about possible icing conditions.
The Surface Patrol is a compact instrument designed for easy installation. In addition, a major advantage of using the Surface Patrol is the ability to field calibrate the sensor.
