Leveraging Technology to Improve Roadway and Work Zone Safety in Nevada

In an effort to prevent collisions and reduce congestion brought by the population growth, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC)’s Traffic Management Center has actively tested technological advances for the past few years along Southern Nevada’s busiest interstate. As the RTC continues to leverage technology to improve roadway safety on freeways, the agency is engaging in a first-of-its-kind effort to bring the same results to work zones. It is testing various technologies, such as Nexar, iCone, and HAAS Alert, to detect work zones in real time.
