Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Choose Vaisala Road Weather Information Systems and Weather Data
(St. Louis MO, Monday August 9) Vaisala has signed a USD 5 million agreement
with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for Road Weather Information
Systems (RWIS) equipment, lightning detection, weather forecasting, software and
data services, and 10-year maintenance services. The agreement covers turnkey
deliveries to all five airports operated by the Port Authority - John F.
Kennedy, LaGuardia, Newark, Teterboro and Stewart International. Deliveries will
start immediately.
Vaisala's solution provides the tools needed to maximize winter maintenance
resources and minimize chemical usage. It is also a long-term solution for
weather monitoring, including weather forecasting and real-time data. The
solution offered by Vaisala brings simplicity to all supported airports as data
can be easily viewed and shared, and all elements are represented in a single,
easy-to-use package.
"The integration of Vaisala and Quixote Transportation Technologies, acquired by
Vaisala in December 2009, allows us to provide a very comprehensive offering,
the latest technologies and superior services. This customized solution will
help maximize air travel safety, minimize delays, and promote cost-efficient
operations," says Antero Jarvinen, head of Vaisala's Roads segment.
"We are now able to offer our customers more options than before, and supply
unique solutions to meet customer demands. This solution is a great combination
of weather and lightning data as well as some 50 new active pavement sensors at
