Sensice ice detectors Dr Ulf Elman, President Sensice 2009
Sensice’s superior detectors Smart new design gives better performance More advantageous price/performance ratio • Significantly reduced maintenance cost Sensice 2009
Traffic accidents in Sweden 1995-1999: • 37828 at snowy or icy road surface conditions, of these did • 15589 occur during black ice conditions, and in addition did • 572 accidents related to aquaplaning occur Sensice 2009
General properties Uses infrared spectroscopy IR reception A IR emission IR reception B Sensice 2009
