Road surface sensor mobile Detector
- Vaisala - MD30
- Compact, multi-parameter mobile sensor
- Designed for snow plow trucks, suitable for any vehicle
- Proven DSC technology optimized for mobile measurements
Vaisala Mobile Detector MD30 is a mobile road condition sensor for winter maintenance operations
The compact MD30 measures all key road weather parameters and is suitable for snow plow trucks and other vehicles. MD30 data is targeted to enable more accurate maintenance decision-making and salt usage.
Features
- Compact, multi-parameter mobile sensor
- Designed for snow plow trucks, suitable for any vehicle
- Proven DSC technology optimized for mobile measurements
- Simultaneous water, ice, and snow layer reporting
- Molded design to withstand heavy vibration and water ingress
- Patent pending double-hood for window protection
- Hand-removable hood for easy window cleaning
Reliable in Any Weather
To provide quick response time and high sensitivity in road condition reporting, MD30 utilizes an improved, fastmeasuring version of the proven DSC laser technology. In cases where external heat sources could disturb the temperature measurements, the road and air temperature sensors can be separated from the MD30 body and placed in desired locations.
Robust for Any Vehicle
The rugged design allows MD30 to operate in snow plow trucks and other vehicles. The core is molded to withstand continuous vibration and to prevent water ingress. Further, the hood has a special vented double structure that directs air flow to protect the window from dirt and splashes.
Easy to Use and Maintain
MD30 provides simplicity for both use and maintenance. It starts to measure automatically when the vehicle starts, and constantly monitors the sensor status. The window is heated to avoid dew and frost formation. When cleaning is needed, the window can be accessed by simply removing the hood by hand, without any tools.
