Digitalization in traffic engineering
Making construction sites visible
Prevention is the best way to minimize rear-end collisions and protect lives. With the digitalization of the FRIKE rumble strips, roadworks of short duration are also visible on Google Maps. In real time.
Imagine you are driving on the highway. Suddenly, the navigation system actively alerts you to upcoming maintenance work on the road. The result: you drive with increased attention and reduce the risk of an accident ahead of time.
Digital warning signal
This is made possible by the iCone ConnectedTech technology in combination with the FRIKE rumble strips and the FRIKE Rumble strip handling machine.The GPS coordinates are measured when the rumble strip is laid out. In navigation systems such as Google Maps and Waze, a roadworks is then signaled. If a driver passes the area, they are actively warned in advance. If the rumble strip is picked up again at the same point, the signal is deactivated and the message goes out.
Preventing accidents
“The digitalization of our warning thresholds is another accident prevention tool,” explains Tim BaurCEO FRIKE electronic AG. Currently, work sites in particular are of short duration and, as a result, construction site personnel are usually inadequately protected. Tim Baur: “Thanks to the interaction of the rumble strips, the rumble strips handling machine and iCone, we can noticeably increase the work safety of road maintenance employees and significantly reduce rear-end collisions.”
Efficient operating processes
However, digitalization not only helps to increase safety, but also efficiency. Construction sites can be monitored in real time using GPS. This allows the fleet to be planned more efficiently and corresponding evaluations and invoices to be created. Tim Baur: “The advance warning system effectively protects the lives of road users and construction site personnel and also optimizes operational processes. A benefit for work and operational safety.”
