Wireless Sensors in Traffic Cones to Protect Workers

The million-dollar Safelane project is developing a wireless defense system, Intellicone, using ‘intelligent’ traffic cones and alarm sounders, to give workers prompt warnings of vehicle intrusions.   Improved rechargeable battery technology is another element of the project.   The Highways Agency  maintenance contractors are already deploying Intellicone on motorway and trunk road sites across England.
