IceMap™
Real Time Ice Thickness Measurement
The IceMap real-time display shows the automatically detected bottom of the ice (blue line) in real time. Users can set a minimum thickness warning threshold (gold line). Winter ice roads and bridges are a common transportation link in the northern regions of Canada, Alaska, Europe and Russia. The Sensors & Software IceMap system is designed to measure the ice thickness on these temporary, yet vital, links and ensure the safety of all travelers. The GPR sensor is towed across the ice surface behind a truck or snowmobile and the ice thickness data, displayed in real-time as a cross-sectional image, are sent wirelessly to the operator’s computer.
