New Auto-Social-Distancing Wearable Technology for Road Workers

Author/Presenter: Stone, Tom
Abstract:

Highway construction work is continuing around the world amid social distancing directives. But following such directives can be difficult when focused on the job in hand. DKN Capital and LociLabs have developed SafeSpace, a social distancing tool that can be worn on the wrist or clipped to a belt and provides real-time audible, visual and vibrating alerts when a device identifies another similar device within 2 metres of itself. SafeSpace enables contractors to guarantee the safety and welfare of their workforce, while engaged in highway maintenance and construction.
