Providing real-time warning of icy roads ahead so drivers can slow down and take action
TAPCO Icy Road Warning Systems detect when conditions are favorable for ice to form on approaching roadways and then activate warning alerts, prompting drivers to slow down and take caution.
Ideal for sharp curves and elevated bridges where ice forms quickly. Warning alerts are programmed to flash only when the sensor determines ideal ice conditions are present.
