In Field Application of an Innovative Sensor for Monitoring Road and Runway Surfaces

Abstract

Water and ice detection over road and runway surfaces is important to improve traffic safety and to reduce maintenance costs. An innovative low cost capacitive sensor was endowed with an algorithm based on the time derivative of the measured capacitance to indicate the transitions between dry, wet, or icy state of road and runway surfaces. The sensor was investigated theoretically and validated with experiments on field.
