GEWI to Demonstrate Safety Benefits of Smart Work Zone at ITS America  

GEWI has been at the forefront of Smart Work Zones with a first public conceptual demonstration at ITS World Congress in Orlando, Florida in 2011. The first European implementation of this Smart Work Zone technology went live in 2018. By providing drivers in-vehicle notifications in advance of entering a Work Zone, safety for motorists and workers is increased. Accurate data from Smart Work Zones is also critical to the success of the emerging Connected and Automated Driving (CAV) market. Today this is available worldwide as a low-cost off-the-shelf solution, and GEWI and iCone are demonstrating this technology at booth #216 ITS America in Washington D.C. 04-07 June, 2019.  

To make an appointment for a demonstration of how GEWI’s TIC Software can be used for Work Zone planning, real-time operations, and post construction analytics, contact Jim O’Neill at jim.oneill@gewi.com or visit www.gewi.com.
