Road Surface Temperature on motorways, primary roads and urban roads
Description
The data covers road surface temperatures collected along motorways, primary and urban roads in summer 2024. Surface temperature was measured using a Raytek CM sensor mounted on a van. Trajectories of the van were collected using an Applanix POS LV220 positioning system. The road surface temperatures were collected in the right wheel path with a driving speed of 60 km/h on motorways/primary roads and as traffic allowed on urban roads. The road surface temperatures were averaged over 10 m sections on motorways and primary roads and over 5 m in urban environmemt. All data points contain x,y,z coordinates, heading, date and time and road surface temperature. The data was collected in the project "HeatMon - Towards a monitoring service enabling climate change adaption measures" and was used as ground truth vor valiadation of surface temperature predictions using remote sensing data sources including ISS/ECOSTRESS. An overview of the project can be found at https://projekte.ffg.at/projekt/4711883 The IBK dataset covers the daily temperature variation of urban roads on a hot summer day in 2024 and can be used for modelling of diurnal (surface) temperature variations in urban areas.
