Cross has dealt with full meteorology road since 1995. The company has solid experience in the development and installation of road weather stations and it offers them together with the necessary information support by specialists in winter road cleaning. In this area, the company has focused its efforts on developing software solutions that are unique in their capabilities.
CrossMet
A high-end full-featured road weather station for automatic collection and transmission of meteorological and pavement data in road traffic for maintenance professionals. CrossMet is the essential hardware for weather data acquisition. The station has a reputation of a reliable and flexible system. CrossMet provides early warnings about dangerous situations on the road such as frost, ice, mist, strong wind and wet or snow-covered surface. The intelligence inside the station allows the direct control of connected variable message signs.

METIS
Advanced road weather information system. It is a unique single-platform software solution designed for sharing and presenting road weather data, allowing users to have full information about changing weather conditions on the roads in real time. All available weather information sources are integrated in a single application: road weather stations, weather forecasts of hydrometeorological centers, SSWM, camera pictures, radar data animation and many other features. The METIS system can be fully customized according to the specific clients requirements. Including for example language versions, local data from hydrometeorological centers and existing road weather stations.

WMi
Winter maintenance index with cost analysis and invoicing capability.
The WMi is a solution providing different subcontractors with full control over expenses of winter road maintenance regardless of location, weather conditions and road network length.
The system provides full control over winter road maintenance funding regardless of location, weather conditions and road network length.
Winter Maintenance Index (WMi) is a system of deep analysis and elaborate comparison of winter road maintenance performance (e.g. salting, plowing) and costs depending on real meteorological conditions over a defined road network. The purpose of WMi is to give an objective indication of winter severity, and especially to compare maintenance performances among different road maintenance contractors working in different conditions by using a comparative method.
Key benefits
- Unique system
- Experience in using: 9 years / 50,000 km of roads
- The best system for winter road maintenance costs control among all existing on the market
- Remote support via the Internet
- Independent of weather conditions, topography, altitude, road network length
- Fast correction in case of any changes in the conditions of maintenance contractors
- Cost savings and maintenance optimization
Key features
- Comprehensive analysis of winter maintenance adequacy depending on real meteorological conditions
- Definition of regional / national standard level of winter maintenance
- Identification of regions with maximum winter maintenance level leading to optimization of finance allocation
- Detailed financial validation of subcontractors’ invoices
- Quick detection of errors in invoices
