Conventional road heating control devices detect road surface moisture (snowfall) and road surface temperature using a moisture sensor and temperature sensor embedded in the road infrastructure, and detect when there is moisture on the road surface and when the road surface temperature is energized. When the temperature is below the starting temperature, the electromagnetic contactor is activated to energize the heater.

Further, the moisture sensor described above converts snow or ice into water using its built-in heater, and extracts changes in capacitance, electrical resistance, etc. between electrodes due to water as an electrical signal. Therefore, it is necessary to match the snow melting speed of the moisture sensor with that of the road surface, and it is necessary to make the capacity of the built-in heater variable. However,
At present, only step-by-step adjustments can be made, and precise adjustments cannot be made.

That is, when there is an output from the moisture detector 4 (snowfall on the road surface), the SCR controller 5 controls the phase of the SCR 6 in response to the temperature deviation generated by the temperature controller, and adjusts the output voltage of the SCR 6 to the temperature deviation. Change accordingly. In the figure, 7 indicates the built-in heater of the moisture sensor, and 8 indicates the box of the moisture sensor. Furthermore, although the wiring 9 is only shown in the figure for simplicity, a current proportional to the current supplied to the load heater is applied to the built-in heater 7.

In the device of the present invention having the above configuration, the temperature of the road heater is adjusted by the SCR 6 which is phase controlled by the output of the temperature regulator 2 which generates a deviation between the set temperature and the road surface temperature by proportional control or PID control. Unlike conventional on/off control, unnecessary power is not consumed. In addition, since a current proportional to the current applied to the load heater is applied to the built-in heater 7 of the moisture sensor, by appropriately selecting the proportionality constant, the snow melting speed of the load heater and that of the built-in heater 7 can be significantly different.
