FDOT Unveils Groundbreaking Statewide Lane Closure Notification System to Enhance Safety for Drivers and Roadway Workers

Abstract:

In partnership with the Florida Transportation Builders Association and one.network, the Florida Department of Transportation announced the official start of a one-year statewide technology pilot program that establishes a new Lane Closure Notification System (LCNS) – the first of its kind in North America. LCNS allows work zone supervisors to use one.network’s Live Link smartphone application to geometrically map out lane closures and deliver near real-time alerts to GPS companies that will update drivers on any upcoming work zones or lane closures via smartphone navigation applications. The introduction of this technology will improve the safety of both workers and drivers on Florida’s roadways.
