Every moment of delay in work zone innovation puts lives at risk. With roadway workers and inspectors operating feet from high-speed traffic—and drivers increasingly distracted—traditional safety measures are no longer enough. This session explores how the ADCMS-funded Accelerating Digital Inspection Practices with Connected Machinery Project empowers DOTs to act decisively, using connected equipment, e-Ticketing, and interoperable data feeds to deliver real-time worker presence alerts directly into mapping platforms and navigation systems. By shifting from reactive to data-driven safety strategies, DOTs can reduce inspector exposure, enhance work zone visibility, and influence driver behavior when it matters most.
