Ep.17| Weather Monitoring for Rail Traffic

With Laura Goodfellow and Frank Zokoll, Transportation Weather Monitoring ExpertsRailway traffic is the backbone of both business and individual transport. Keeping the flow safe and on time is a challenge, especially due to the fact that railways are prone to inclement weather.Strong winds, snowfall, floods, heat, freezing switches, and platforms … rail network operators have a lot to consider to ensure safe train traffic. Many of these meteorological phenomena occur in unique areas, thus knowledge of hyper-local conditions along the rails can be extremely helpful.Key to knowing the actual situation along the rails are reliable, low-maintenance, and densely spread weather monitoring stations. The Lufft WS series of modular, compact weather sensors offers a robust and versatile basis for a broad range of monitoring applications.In this episode of our podcast, we discuss ways to keep the flow safe and on time even under adverse atmospheric conditions.
