Klimator signs municipality number 20 in Denmark with full implementation of smart winter maintenance solution
Klimator has signed a contract with an additional municipality in Denmark regarding smart winter maintenance. The total order value over a 3-year period is approx. 850 KSEK. Klimator now holds 20 municipalities in Denmark, which equals just above 20% of the market share for Denmark. The driver for the new authority is the addition of the new camera feature on the IoT Road Weather Station.
The agreement is one of the first covering both Klimator’s Road Status Information (RSI) software and the new camera implemented on Klimator’s IoT technology. The IoT camera will enable winter maintenance decision-makers to cost-effectively add many more locations where they can have “eyes on the road”. The new IoT-based data sources will provide a strong sensor network to cover the area with more insights for the winter operation in the area covered by the municipality.
“We are very happy to see the cost-effective IoT sensor solutions taking off in the winter maintenance industry. Since they were introduced by us 4-5 years ago, they have surpassed the number of traditional road weather stations. The growing number is now providing comprehensive information and data directly to users, and input to our forecast models.”, says Søren Pedersen, Director of Partnerships & Operations at Klimator.
About Road Status Information
Road Status Information (RSI) is a Software-as-a-Service application for the winter maintenance industry which delivers all critical information needed to ensure safe winter roads. The data provided in RSI is created by using a combination of ruled-based algorithms, machine learning, and analysis of immense amounts of real-life road and environment data. RSI processes this data with advanced climate models to provide detailed forecasts for roads, bicycle- and footpaths. The high-resolution forecasts given in RSI are used by traffic authorities, winter road contractors and municipalities providing the best possible foundation for proactive and sustainable winter maintenance. Klimator's forecasts facilitate decisions, planning and follow-up of measures and contribute to using resources more efficiently and reducing the climate footprint.
About Klimator's IoT Road Weather Stations
Klimator’s road weather station provides real-time information on how weather impacts local road conditions. This data will empower operators to make informed decisions on the appropriate treatments necessary. The data is easily accessible from a browser-based platform or the RSI platform. The data comes in the form of an API so can also be fed into other weather monitoring and forecasting systems if necessary.
