Take the high road with transportation-specific weather.


MxVision WeatherSentry™ <em>Transportation Edition</em> is dedicated weather system designed to help with crew scheduling, snow and ice removal, and safety issues.

Weather impacts every area of your operations from storm preparation to crew scheduling, snow fighting to roadwork. MxVision WeatherSentry Transportation Edition quickly and clearly provides accurate information for everyday operations and major weather event decisions, so you can mitigate the impact of weather, cut costs, and maximize your resources.

Scheduling crews and equipment is expensive— operating a single truck ranges from $100 to $200 per hour. But you also can’t afford dangerous roads. With MxVision WeatherSentry Transportation Edition you’ll know when to schedule crews, when to call in reinforcements, and when to send people home— avoiding unnecessary labor costs and keeping roads safe.

The system supplies accurate, detailed local forecasts for nearly 2500 locations based on advanced model data technology and managed by experienced meteorologists 24 hours a day. Anticipate conditions up to 10 days out, with hourly outlooks for the first three days. Forecasts are updated every hour so you always have the best, most current look at what will happen. Forecasted wind speed, chance of precipitation, and more can be viewed as graphs. Set thresholds to automatically highlight items of concern for you.

Determine when storms will impact your area. Know when to pretreat for freezing rain, and when high winds will cause severe blowing and drifting.

Its patented PrecipTimer™ lets you know when snow, ice, or rain will start and stop by identifying your location and monitoring radar data for you. Eliminate surprises and improve your productivity while cutting unnecessary costs.

Weathering winter operations.

State DOTs can now make the most of their investments in RWIS. MxVision WeatherSentry Transportation Edition easily integrates your station data and forecasts, providing a “one-stop shop” for your maintenance decision support system (MDSS). Personnel can view RWIS data side by side with radar and weather forecasts for smarter, more effective decisions.

Effective anti-icing programs require current and forecasted pavement and bridge deck temperatures— and MxVision WeatherSentry Transportation Edition delivers. Using these forecasts, you’ll know when frost or black ice could form and how to adjust chemical application rates for changing pavement temperatures. With these forecasts come automated treatment recommendations following Federal Highway Administration guidelines specific to your forecasted snow and ice events and pavement temperatures.
Cities and counties can maximize MDSS technology by using economical pavement forecasts without investing in RWIS.

With the RoadCast™ option, you can incorporate accurate pavement temperature forecasts into your anti-icing program— without costly roadway sensors. This exclusive solution incorporates observed and forecasted local weather with your own pavement profiles for locations of your choice to create reliable, hourly forecasts for frost and ice on roadways and bridges in your service territory.
