By providing 54 road weather monitoring stations across the whole country, OTT HydroMet plays a key role in this huge initiative.<\/p><p>The State Road A1 is Serbia\u2019s lifeline. Reaching from the Hungarian border to Serbia\u2019s capital Belgrade and down to North Macedonia, the country\u2019s longest and vital motorway stretches over 605 kilometers and connects four of its five biggest cities. While the quantity of cars on Serbian roads has multiplied in the past 20 years, the number of road accidents with casualties or fatalities has increased. According to the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, the number of injured people in the Q3 2021 increased country-wide by 24.9% year-on-year.<\/p><p>Figures like that illustrate why the Public Enterprise Roads of Serbia decided to include 54 road weather monitoring stations to increase safety on state roads as a part of the Road Rehabilitation and Safety Project. To cope with this job, Roads of Serbia assigned OTT HydroMet, developer and manufacturer of environmental monitoring solutions.<\/p><h3>A tailored setup of Lufft equipment<\/h3><p>The total scope of the RWIS (Road Weather Information System) project delivered by OTT HydroMet includes hardware, software, training, and partly installation. Each of the 54 stations combines a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lufft.com\/products\/compact-weather-sensors-293\/ws600-umb-smart-weather-sensor-1832\/\">Lufft WS600 weather sensor<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lufft.com\/products\/visibility-present-weather-sensors-290\/visibility-sensor-vs2k-umb-2298\/\">Lufft VS2k visibility sensor<\/a>, one or more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lufft.com\/products\/road-runway-sensors-292\/intelligent-passive-road-sensor-irs31pro-umb-2306\/\">Lufft IRS31Pro passive road weather sensors<\/a>, a control cabinet with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lufft.com\/products\/accessories-310\/lcom-1939\/\">Lufft LCOM Communicator module<\/a>, a solar PV panel, and mechanical installation equipment in stainless steel quality. The first set of five stations has already been erected as reference objects in 2020. Some are mounted on bridges that are exposed to an increased risk of icing. The remaining 49 stations are being added to the network step by step.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-581a052 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"581a052\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:4,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"581a052\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"In addition to flush-mounted Lufft IRS31Pro passive road weather sensors, a compact weather station Lufft WS600 monitors the micro-climate at every station, including air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation -

South of Belgrade, drivers enter the Balkans\u2019 typical topology with hills, mountains, and valleys. 230 kilometers from Vrbas, a second station is erected at Velika Plana, an important transportation hub in central Serbia. A third one is in Novi Pazar, surrounded by mountains reaching up to 1800 meters, close to the border with Montenegro.<\/p><p>According to Mario Keil, the responsible project manager at OTT HydroMet, this short list already illustrates how diverse the country is and why there was a need to install stations across the country: \u201cEvery area can have its own microclimate, especially in hilly regions, close to rivers or in the mountains.

Project manager Mario Keil is very happy with the outcome: \u201cApart from the proven Lufft technology itself, which needed to comply with the customer\u2019s high requirements, it takes local expertise and a strong network to realize such projects within time and budget.
