The Project

In a tender issued by the Estonian Road Administration (ERA), Lufft sensors were able to prevail against their competitors. The six new road weather stations were installed by Teede Tehnokeskus in November 2018. The special thing about it was that the whole construction work took only a couple of weeks.

The road weather stations are now located along Estonian state roads and were integrated into the existing road weather information system in accordance with the tender requirements. Some of the new stations are installed next to existing weather stations, others next to existing road weather cameras. From Lufft’s side, six…

• IRS31Pro intelligent passive road sensor,
• WS300 all-in-one weather sensors,
• VENTUS ultrasonic wind sensors,
• R2S radar precipitation sensors
• and VS2k visibility sensors

…are in use. They are characterized above all by maintenance-free operation, high quality and easy integrability.

“Many thanks for the good care and support! We made it! Today we connected our last station to the internet and now there are six more Lufft stations in Estonia. I hope that they are as reliable as other equipment made in Germany we have used”,

reported Stanislav Metlitski, project manager of Teede Tehnokeskus, on 26 November, 2018 – shortly after the completion of the weather stations.

The installation of two further stations for the Estonian Road Administration is planned for this year.
