Symons, Leslie.
Symons, A. Colville.
Date: 1986.
In: Geographical Magazine. (1986.), Vol. 58(12) (1986)
Abstract: Electronic sensors placed in and beside road surface can detect need for salting by sensing whether surface is wet or dry and whether any salt is present. Microcomputer software enables data to be sent over public telephone network. Linked to measurements of road surface temperature, made by vehicle-mounted infrared thermometer or air survey. Describes integrated system now in use in Wales.
