Abstract
A weather station system is provided, comprising: a weather station having at least one sensor disposed at an intersection with a traffic cabinet; an interface card adapted for insertion in a detection rack of a traffic cabinet. The card has embedded firmware to receive data from the at least one sensor of the weather station and communicate the data to at least one remote computing device for processing with data of other weather stations. A weather data processing system and a method of retrieving localized weather data are also provided.
Claims21
A weather station system, comprising:
- a weather station having at least one sensor disposed at an intersection with a traffic cabinet;
- an interface card adapted for insertion in a detection rack of the traffic cabinet, the card having embedded firmware to receive data from the at least one sensor of the weather station and communicate the data to at least one remote computing device for processing with data of other weather stations.
A weather data processing system, comprising:
- a plurality of weather stations each having at least one sensor;
- a plurality of interface cards, each integrated with a traffic cabinet co-located at intersection level with a respective one of the plurality of weather stations, each interface card having embedded firmware to receive data from the respective weather station;
- a centralized hub for receiving data from the plurality of interface cards and processing the data to provide localized weather reporting and forecasting.
A method for retrieving localized weather data, comprising:
- retrieving from a weather station having at least one sensor disposed at an intersection with a traffic cabinet a string of weather related data;
- through an interface card adapted for insertion in a detection rack of the traffic cabinet, the card having embedded firmware to receive data from the at least one sensor of the weather station, communicating the data to at least one remote computing device for processing with data of other weather stations.
