SR-IDS – Intelligent Ice Detector System | Permanent Ireland Traffic Safety Solution
The SR-IDS (Intelligent Ice Detector System) is an advanced, solar-powered road safety solution designed to monitor and alert drivers to potential ice formation on Irish roads. Using integrated temperature and humidity sensors, combined with SR-45 LED road studs and visual warning signs, this system proactively warns drivers of icy conditions — especially in blackspot zones like bridges, high-altitude routes, and shaded rural roads.
The SR-IDS operates completely autonomously, activating high-intensity LED road studs and vertical warning signs when preset conditions for ice are met (e.g. temperature < 3°C and humidity > 60%). Once the temperature rises above 5°C, the system automatically deactivates, conserving energy while ensuring accurate, reliable alerts.
With no need for physical wiring between the sensors and signs thanks to RF communication, SR-IDS is a low-maintenance, high-impact solution for safer roads across Ireland’s winter-prone regions.
