Weather Sensors for Roads and Bridges
We know how critical weather data is for maintaining safe and efficient roadways and bridges. That’s why we deliver precise, durable weather instruments designed specifically for the challenges faced by transportation professionals. From detecting high winds on suspension bridges to monitoring roadway visibility, our sensors provide the critical data you need to keep infrastructure safe and operational. With R.M. Young Company, you’re choosing instruments engineered to perform in the most demanding environments.
We Specialize in Roads & Bridges Applications
Purpose-Built for Roads and Bridges
Resilient Design
Our instruments are built to withstand the toughest conditions, including extreme temperatures, high winds, and corrosive environments—no matter if it’s a mountain pass or a coastal bridge.
Accurate Measurements
Get the data you can trust with our industry-leading precision. From wind speed to precipitation, visibility, and temperature, our sensors provide reliable measurements to guide your decisions.
Easy Integration
Our sensors work seamlessly with most data logging and communication systems (including the YOUNG Translator and Wind Tracker), allowing you to monitor road and bridge conditions in real time.
Our Instruments
Popular Solutions for Roads & Bridges
Heavy Duty Wind Monitor-HD
The Wind Monitor-HD is an accurate and reliable wind sensor specifically designed for the rigors of harsh environments.
ResponseONE™ Weather Transmitter
The ResponseONE™™ Weather Transmitter measures four key meteorological variables with one compact instrument.
Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge
The tipping bucket rain gauge utilizes a proven tipping bucket mechanism for simple and effective rainfall measurement. Heated and unheated options available.
Sentry™ Visbility Sensor
The YOUNG Sentry™ Visibility Sensor measures atmospheric visibility by determining the amount of light scattered by particles in the air (including smoke, dust, haze, fog, rain, and snow).
Barametric Pressure Sensor
Barometric pressure sensors combine high accuracy and low power consumption over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. The compact size allows for easy installation.
Pressure Port
Pressure Port provides an effective static pressure inlet for a barometric pressure sensor to significantly reduce errors due to wind and create a barrier to water and snow.
Temperature & Humidity Probes
We offer standalone temperature probes in addition to a combo probe that combines a high accuracy, capacitance type humidity sensor and precision Platinum RTD temperature sensor into one.
Multi-Plate Radiation Shield
he Multi-Plate Radiation Shield protects temperature and relative humidity sensors from error-producing solar radiation and precipitation. Compact size and light weight make this shield useful for many applications.
