Work Zone Safety System

Every year almost 800 fatalities and over 37,000 serious injury crashes occur in work zones in the United States. The dynamic work zone safety system promotes smooth traffic flow leading into a work zone by creating a dynamic no passing zone upstream of the construction site. Intelligent monitoring is used to adapt the length of the zone to changing traffic congestion levels so that it is always properly sized and relevant to the actual driving conditions. This deters vehicles from attempting to get ahead in the line by changing lanes at the last possible opportunity. The system is fully portable, allowing it to move easily with the advancement of construction and to be redeployed at other construction sites.
