Sensors for Safer and Smarter Runway Operations
Moventor’s range of advanced sensors delivers the critical data airports need for accurate runway condition reporting and proactive decision-making – fully aligned with ICAO’s Global Reporting Format (GRF). By integrating these solutions into your operations, you can ensure maximum safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, even in the most challenging weather conditions.
Solutions include mobile sensors as well as weather stations monitoring the runway conditions in real time.
SEE INTRODUCTION HOW WE UTILIZE WEATHER DATA IN OUR SOLUTIONS
sensor solutions
Contaminant Sensor
Our high-precision contaminant sensor continuously monitors runway surface conditions, detecting dry, wet, snow, slush, ice, and standing water with exceptional accuracy. This objective, real-time data supports inspectors in determining the correct Runway Condition Code (RWYCC) and helps identify slippery conditions before they become a safety hazard. The result: more accurate reporting, improved operational safety, and optimized runway maintenance actions.
Surface Temperature Sensor
Surface temperature is a critical factor in determining runway safety – especially in borderline conditions where ice may form unexpectedly. Our surface temperature sensor provides continuous, precise readings to support both operational and maintenance decisions.
Weather Stations (Partner Solutions)
Through our trusted partners, we offer full-scale weather station integrations that give your operations team a complete environmental overview. From wind speed and direction to precipitation intensity and air temperature, this data can be combined with friction and contaminant measurements for a truly comprehensive runway status picture. And most importantly, get alerted when weather changes suddenly!
