DBDS-BTM · Soil temperature measurement

Measure soil temperatures instead of guessing.

With DBDS-BTM we measure the temperature directly at road and pavement surfaces and make critical values usable via the Datacenter, mobile phone or alerting.

Application

Less gut feeling, a stronger basis for decisions.

Roads, pavements and critical neighbourhoods do not all experience the same conditions. Different locations, shade, elevations and local micro-climates can determine whether a surface freezes or not.

With our soil temperature measurement, real measured values are available. Those responsible can check temperatures, define alarms and base decisions on data.

How it works

From the sensor in the surface to the alarm.

01

Sensor in the surface

Temperature sensors in the road or pavement capture the relevant surface directly.

02

Off-grid power supply

We handle the power supply and data path on site via the DBDS device.

03

Transmit the data

We transmit measured values to our online platform, the DBDS Datacenter.

04

Retrieve and alert

Values can be retrieved by mobile phone or automatically trigger an alarm at critical temperatures.

05

Coordinate installation

We install the system ourselves or prepare the installation for municipal staff as agreed.

Installation

Ruggedly mounted for operation outdoors.

For accurate values, we place the temperature sensor directly at the relevant surface. A protective tube and protective sleeve help against vandalism, mowing work and rodents. We plan the specific installation to suit the location.
