New Advance Technology For Traffic Work Zone Safety
Created By;James Luft
Issues with Work Zones
• In 2010 FHWA States• 87,000 Car Crashes • 26,300 Injuries• 576 Deaths
• Causes for Accidents • Traffic Patterns• Narrowing Lanes• Heavy Traffic Volume• Excessive Speed
Types of New Advance Technologies for Road Ways
• ITS• Two- Dimensional Ultrasonic Sensor System• Grader System with Digital Construction• Wireless Monitoring• 4D CAD Modeling Method
ITS (Intelligent Transportation System)
ITS Components; • Advanced information programs• Communication controls• Monitor devises• Computer technologies
Two- Dimensional Ultrasonic Sensor System
Traffic control by law enforcement = Safer traffic and reduce number of accidents
Grading System with Digital Construction
• Precision
• Reduced Errors
• Saves Time

Higher Quality Road = Lower Accident Rate
Wireless Monitoring
• Wireless monitoring system uses radio waves that transmit voice, video and data.
• Relay Messages to:• construction personnel on site• ongoing traffic• other agencies if needed
• Reduce number of personnel on site. Ex.
• Inspectors • Engineers
Less amount of people on site =Lower chance of accidents and injuries from accidents.
