Ver-Mac’s Queue Warning System is our most commonly used and cost-effective smart work zone application. Using real-time data from Ver-Mac and third-party sensors, our Queue Warning System manages traffic by informing drivers of downstream conditions. Motorists can be alerted and adjust their driving before reaching a congested area.
A study led by the US DOT has shown that Queue Warning Systems (QWS) reduce the potential for rear-end crashes by 18 to 45% on work zone approaches. Ver-Mac’s QWS has proven its efficiency over decades, helping to keep workers and motorists safe.
What is a Queue Warning System?
Through real-time data collection and automatic publication of circulation information, a Queue Warning System informs drivers of downstream traffic conditions.
How can a queue warning system improve safety in work zones?
Since motorists can slow down, merge or brake before reaching the work zone (or congested area), the risks of crashes and thus injuries, are significantly diminished through greater driver awareness.
Which industries typically use automated queue warning systems?
Queue Warning Systems are generally used by the highway and roadway construction industries, as well as special event managers.
