Introduction
Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) are complex structures used for road maintenance decision
support, which feature as a rule the following components: meteorological sensors and instruments, road
condition sensors (embedded or remote), transmission technology, computer systems for processing,
representation and storing of information, road weather forecasts and alarms, in relation to traffic control
and traffic information systems and more.
A stationary road weather station performs the acquisition of road and meteorological information at a
fixed location.
This document lays down the requirements for the recommended sensor components of a road weather
station of a Road Weather Information System (RWIS). In the description of requirements, a distinction
is made between the sensor components forming a basis road weather station for winter use and the
recommended complementary optional sensor components.
Parameters which are not in the standard but offered on the market could be useful, but are left out of
this minimum standard due to the fact that there are currently no professional methods available to verify
these parameters.
The aim is to ensure extensive combination and interchangeability within the systems.
With a set terminology for the components and the meteorological expressions an attempt is made to
counteract a diversity of terms and designations for identical phenomena.

1 Scope
This document specifies the terminology and performance requirements for all sensor components of
stationary equipment within a Road Weather Information System (RWIS).
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
CEN/TS 15518-4, Winter maintenance equipment — Road weather information systems — Part 4: Test
methods for stationary equipment
EN 15144, Winter maintenance equipment — Terminology — Terms for winter maintenance
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 15144 and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
NOTE The following definitions have been established specifically for the RWIS domain.
3.1 Surface
3.1.1
pavement surface temperature
effective radiation temperature of a pavement surface and the contaminant
layer; conductive temperature on the pavement surface
3.1.2
road body temperature
temperature of the road in a specific depth in the construction layers
3.1.3
amount of de-icing agent
mass of de-icing agent on a road surface per square metre
3.1.4
freezing temperature
temperature at which a liquid begins to freeze on a road surface
Note 1 to entry: The requirement specifications for freeze temperature in this document are valid under well-
known and reproducible laboratory environment conditions. The real environment condition on a road under
traffic result in high variations due to the highly variable distribution of water film and de-icing agent concentration
over the pavement surface and some other influences.
3.1.5
road surface condition
qualification of the status of road surface affected by road weather phenomenon

prEN 15518-3:2022 (E)
3.1.6
water film thickness
mean thickness of the film of water present on a flat surface, measured on a specific measurement area
observed by a sensor
Note 1 to entry: If a sensor provides also ice film and snow layer thickness, then this parameter means the liquid
portion. If a sensor doesn’t provide ice film and snow layer thickness, then water film thickness means all kind of
water content (water equivalent).
3.1.7
ice
water on a surface freeze from a liquid state to solid state, if surface temperature drops down below
freezing temperature (3.1.4) or if liquid precipitate falls on a surface whose temperature is below freezing
and immediately freezes into solid stage
3.1.8
hoar frost
ice crystals deposit formed from contact of airborne moisture with a surface whose temperature is below
freezing
Note 1 to entry: Hoar frost differs from ice in that the frost crystals grow independently and, therefore, have a more
granular texture. Currently known surface sensor technologies are not able to detect Hoar Frost directly. The
condition can only be classified by the measuring station with the help of atmospheric sensors.
3.1.9
ice film thickness
Mean thickness of the film (or layer) of ice (water equivalent of frozen water) present on a flat surface,
measured on a specific measurement area observed by a sensor
3.1.10
snow layer thickness
approximative layer of snow (water equivalent of snow) present on flat surface, measured on a specific
measurement area observed by a sensor
Note 1 to entry: Snow layer thickness gives an indication about the layer of snow, but accuracy cannot be defined
nor verified.
3.2 Atmospheric parameters
3.2.1
relative humidity
filling rate of the mass of air with water vapour
3.2.2
precipitation
falling water from the atmosphere in liquid and/or solid form which can be observed and measured on
ground
3.2.3
rain
precipitation in liquid form

prEN 15518-3:2021 (E)
3.2.4
snow
water vapour in the atmosphere that has been condensed directly into ice without going through the
liquid stage
Note 1 to entry: The small ice crystals absorb and freeze additional water vapor from surrounding air, growing into
snow crystals. The clusters of snow crystals are formulated into snowflakes.
3.2.5
amount of precipitation
thickness of the layer of water obtained by precipitation (rain or melted so
