Hazards

Low temp risks

The aim of this innovation project is to develop a decision-support system that will provide real-time temperature measurements on smart motorways via low-cost sensors, leading to efficiency savings for the project partners. Particularly, the project will provide tacit knowledge of temperature differences on multi-laned roads to inform the overall winter maintenance strategy.
