Welcome to Traction Watcher One

 

The only friction measuring device that can provide continuous friction readings, simultaneously compensating for ground pressure.

Traction Watcher One (TWO) is a device that when attached to a vehicle can efficiently measure friction levels on a road surface. The readings are made in the left wheel track with 60 kg ground pressure. TWO can easily be elevated and lowered from within the vehicle via PC or outside by manually operating the device. The device can be transferred between any vehicle with an attached mounting bracket.

Functionality contracts stipulate requirements concerning the friction that shall be maintained on black (µ=0.4) and white (µ=0.3) roads. TWO makes it easy to discover where measures need to be implemented and which roads should be prioritized according to traffic density and how poor the friction conditions are.

The friction measuring device has a simple, robust design. It is mounted on the vehicle using a mounting bracket with four locating points. The connection plate has two quick locks with a safety device. There is also a safety hook.

TWO is connected to a laptop PC/PDA inside the vehicle and is delivered with software for viewing and storing measurement data. TWO's readings can be transferred via Bluetooth or cable and generate reports and produce easy-to-read friction graphs of the readings made over the measured distance. GPS can be added as an accessory allowing you to carry out continuous friction readings over a given stretch of road and plot these on a map (extra software required) In addition to two versions of the PC table for vehicles, Les Machineries Tenco (CDN) Ltd can also supply a range of accessories that provide additional readings, including measuring sensors for: air temperature, ground temperature, and air humidity.
