Simulations for developing the fog sensor NebioSens

In this paper mainly simulations for developing the fog sensor NebioSens are presented. After some basic principles of light barriers, alternating beam technology, and fog the first ideas of a mechanical construction for sensor housing are shown. Then some single particle simulations with Mie scattering open the simulation results. Furthermore, ensemble simulations for typically 100 million light rays within the measuring area are calculated with ZEMAX, a ray tracing software tool. Finally, first visibility estimation will be outlined.
