Short-term lane closures are set up every day, impacting traffic flow and commuters. Connected arrow boards were developed to automatically communicate lane closures to government agencies, allowing them to share verified real-time information about all active closures. Before connected arrow boards, agencies provided very general and non-time-specific information on planned lane closures.
Motorists can also be forewarned via Waze and other navigation systems, allowing them to be better prepared and more alert for roadway capacity restrictions.
Government agencies:
Information can be sent to 3rd party data providers such as Waze and other navigation systems, connected vehicles and more, allowing motorists to be aware of lane closures ahead of time.
Government agencies have a history of:
How do connected arrow boards improve safety in work zones?
Lane closures can be short or long-term and are often unexpected by drivers. These closures often result in traffic queues. Connected arrow boards can help push notifications into motorists’ apps and in-vehicle displays to alert and safely prepare them to navigate these critical areas.
Can my existing arrow boards be converted into connected/smart arrow boards?
Yes, any existing arrow board can be connected by adding our retrofit kit.
How can I tell if the sign is not being utilized (if the display is still on)?
Our transport sensor ignores arrow board trailers that were not blanked when they are lowered into a transport travel mode. This ensures that only accurate information is being pushed to the cloud.
