Safety
LIWAS is designed for installation in cars, lorries, busses, etc. or for erection by the roadside in the form of posts. 

LIWAS records the road condition and passes the information on to the car drivers. As a result of this the drivers are aware of the condition of the surface they are driving on and what is happening “further ahead” – both in terms of road conditions and the traffic. And as a result LIWAS can reduce the number of traffic accidents. trafikken.

The environment
LIWAS sends a message notifying the authorities and this allows them to form an overview of the exact situation. They can then for instance proceed to spread the right amounts of salt at the right places very soon after the problem has been detected. The outcome is safer roads, fewer accidents, savings on salting and driving and a significant reduction in the environmental impact.

LIWAS makes it possible for everybody to keep him or herself informed about the road conditions both at local and national levels via a mobile phone or computer – at work or at home.

In effect, cars, lorries and busses provided with a LIWAS sensor function as mobile weather stations. Together these installations form a communications network that drivers and the authorities can use and can act on.
