Alternative Traffic Routes
Smart Work Zone Rerouting & Congestion Mitigation
Alternate routes provide drivers with practical detour options off main freeways and highways while running parallel to the primary corridor. When active roadwork creates freeway lane closures, conflicts naturally arise between motorists and construction operations, leading to severe congestion and hazardous queueing.
Without advance notification, drivers become trapped in traffic backups with no opportunity to exit or take optional detour routes. Deploying real-time Smart Work Zone systems provides motorists with early travel updates, empowering them to take alternative routes and avoid heavy work zone delays.
Key Characteristics of Our Smart Work Zone Systems
Engineered to deliver high accuracy and seamless integration across temporary highway corridors:
Portable & Easily Deployed
Designed for rapid mobilization, these trailer-mounted systems can be relocated across shifting project phases with minimal setup time.
Fully Automated Operation
Computerized ITS technology automatically detects congestion and updates display messaging in real time without requiring manual field intervention.
Real-Time Data Streams
Continuously collects local speed and volume metrics to calculate travel delays and broadcast accurate guidance to approaching drivers.
Dependable & Reliable
Failsafe architecture and MUTCD compliance ensure accurate information is displayed, preventing driver confusion near active construction sites.
Smart Work Zone Hardware & Rerouting Equipment
We integrate specialized intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to guide motorists efficiently around active work zones:
Travel Time Information Systems
Automatically collects traffic data upstream to calculate and display expected travel delays, allowing commuters to make informed routing choices in advance.
Dual-Display Alternate Route Signs
Utilizes dynamic message panels to compare travel times on the primary highway versus alternative routes, balancing traffic loads across both corridors automatically.
Smart Arrow Boards
Interconnected arrow boards coordinate lane closures and merge points smoothly, helping traffic bypass lane restrictions with minimal deceleration.
Variable Speed Limit Trailers
Calms approaching traffic by remotely adjusting posted speed limits via cloud software, reducing speed variance and preventing secondary rear-end crashes.
Additional Integrated Smart Work Zone Systems
Our complete Smart Work Zone catalog also includes traffic detection trailers, queue warning systems, dynamic lane merge systems, truck entering systems, temporary roadway hazard systems, traffic detection devices, traveler information radio systems, and remote camera trailers.
