Wireless with built-in connectivity and a 3-year battery life, TempCast is an ideal solution for getting additional data in your observation network. FASTEN IN PLACE, ANYPLACE FASTEN IN PLACE, ANYPLACE Image TempCast is a standalone product which does not need a connection to a road weather station. Ready to use out-of-the-box, you can simply attach it to a pole and activate with a mobile app. There are no cables and no external powering required, and it operates maintenance-free for three years. These features make TempCast ideal for bridge installations, remote locations, cold spots and other difficult locations. BETTER DATA, BETTER FORECASTS BETTER DATA, BETTER FORECASTS Image High quality observations are the basis of all high quality forecasts. TempCast measures air temperature, humidity, and surface temperature without touching the pavement. This helps you target treatments, even in remote or otherwise difficult locations, to keep all areas of your roads safe for the travelling public. TempCast uses Vaisala’s HUMICAP® humidity sensor, which provides reference grade measurements. Forecasting models can also use local observations for validation, learning and self-improvement.
