”We have found the Wx Horizon data to be invaluable in winter maintenance and after one season has shown significant cost savings in both overtime labor and materials."

"Before we put in GroundCast sensors, we had drivers getting up at 5 a.m. to check conditions in the most remote parts of the road network. Now, we can reduce the number of inspections needed - a quick glance of the parameters with a laptop is sometimes all we need to make the best road treatment decisions."
Wx Horizon is a road weather subscription service designed for winter maintenance professionals. It uses sensors to generate enhanced road weather forecasts for your roads. Now communities can easily and affordably access information that was previously only available to DoTs.
How Wx Horizon boosts your winter maintenance
See the future ->
Better data. Better forecasts.
The best way to enhance local forecasts is to get high-quality sensor data from your local roads. It is the only way to radically improve the forecast accuracy. We are obsessed with sensor accuracy because the forecasts will only be as good as the data you put into the models.
Vaisala Cast Sensors are the easiest way to get high-quality data from your local environment. They are based on the same measurement technologies that the top meteorological agencies are using in their reference networks.
