Welcome to TestSite E18

Testsite E18 is an open research facility, from which data could be received from the database connected to this website via a CSV Export webpage or SOAP Webservice.

The testsite is owned by the Swedish Transport Administration. Measurement data is divided into for groups with four different organizations responsible for each as follows:

1. Physics: VTI. Contact Håkan Carlsson, hakan.carlsson@vti.se
2. Hydrology: KTH, Land and Water Resources. Contact Bo Olofsson, boolof@kth.se
3. Dynamics: KTH, Road and Railway Technology. Contact Alvaro Guarin, alvaro.guarin@abe.kth.se
4. Meteorology: The Swedish Meteorology and Hydrology Institute (SMHI). Contact Stefan Gollvik, Stefan.Gollvik@smhi.se

The testsite is located to the new E18 motorway (opened in the autumn of 2010) between Enköping and Västerås approximately 80 km west of Stockholm. Besides the above mentioned data groups, there is also a RWIS-station at the site (data collection to the Transport Administration). An application has also been done to install the new patented "BIRDS" (Black-Ice Infrared Detection System) and include that into the database. This is a passive measuring device of the road surface.
