Transport Safety Technology | Highway Resource Solutions

Digital Platform - HRS utilise the robust Integrated Safety Management (ISM) Internet of Things (IoT) platform which delivers real-time information on temporary worksites by linking smart devices to an easy to use device management system.

This enables the creation of Smart Geozones around work-zones on a mapping interface. Equipment requires zero set-up and is guided by the requirements set to a specific road closure via the Geozone drawn around it within ISM Studio. Custom alerts can be programmed, and bespoke reports generated.

All our services are connected and provide transparency of all works and real-time data, accessed via secure cloud-based systems, that are resilient and that have been operating for many years in harsh environmental and working conditions
Instant access to historical GPS and time stamped data
Ability to link to sensors integrated within existing traffic management equipment to provide remote condition monitoring of work zones, providing instant safety alerts
Automated working window and incident reporting

"An amazing tool that provides valuable data on working windows. It can tell me the exact times of all road closure installations and removals." - Manager Area 9 (Kier Highways)

Geozoning

HRS use geozones to create a digital layer over work zones, enabling creation of a digital twin of smart assets used on the site. The works delivery is managed using a cloud- based rules engine which allows the work-zone rules to be established well in advance of the job starting and applied to a geozone.

Why Use Geozoning?

Geozones are the key to the operation of HRS’ Smart Solutions. Creating a digital twin of a physical works site in a mapping system enables control over HRS Smart Devices. The geozone-based device management system ensures that:

Only devices on the same site alert each other
Rule sets are applied to specific geozones only
Email or text alerts are sent only to people associated with the worksite (geozone), for example, when there is a taper strike alert or incursion warning

A-one+

"Our operatives report feeling more confident working on the network, knowing that there is an early warning system in place"

Highways England

“This highlights the importance of the Safelane system being deployed, and it may just be on this occasion that it helped send all contractors home safely to their families”

Chevron Traffic Management

“We received an alert that a taper had been severely damaged with over 30 cones hit enabling an instant response. This was imperative as a strike of such severity could have caused accidents and endangered the workforce”

Kier Highways

“The software is an amazing tool as I know what times the closures are getting installed and removed’’

CIHT

“The judges were impressed by the entry’s well thought through proven practical applications – enhancing safety for road users and road workers, especially through early alert systems. It addresses the riskiest elements of working on the highway by reducing human error throughout the traffic management cycle – deployment, operations and removal. It also potentially automates notifications, enabling rapid response to changing situations. There is clear potential for much wider application across highway related works. It also provides auditable assurance to clients, CDM holders and management.”

HW Martin

“All of the equipment was easy to use and could be kept in a small contained space, charging was never a problem and all systems were self-explanatory when charging and installing”

Chevron Traffic Management

“In a single month, we reduced incursions by 50%, which proves that by introducing Safelane, we were moving in the right direction to combat errant vehicles”
