2. Issues with Work Zones
• In 2010 FHWA States
• 87,000 Car Crashes
• 26,300 Injuries
• 576 Deaths
• Causes for Accidents
• Traffic Patterns
• Narrowing Lanes
• Heavy Traffic Volume
• Excessive Speed
3.
4. Types of New Advance Technologies for Road Ways
• ITS
• Two- Dimensional Ultrasonic Sensor System
• Grader System with Digital Construction
• Wireless Monitoring
• 4D CAD Modeling Method
5. ITS (Intelligent Transportation System)
ITS Components;
• Advanced information programs
• Communication controls
• Monitor devises
• Computer technologies
6. Two- Dimensional Ultrasonic Sensor System
Traffic control by law enforcement = Safer traffic and reduce number of accidents
7. Grading System with Digital Construction
• Precision
• Reduced Errors
• Saves Time

Higher Quality Road = Lower Accident Rate
8. Wireless Monitoring
• Wireless monitoring system uses radio
waves that transmit voice, video and data.
• Relay Messages to:
• construction personnel on site
• ongoing traffic
• other agencies if needed
• Reduce number of personnel on site.
Ex.
• Inspectors
• Engineers
Less amount of people on site =
Lower chance of accidents and injuries from accidents.

Short Time for construction = Lower amount
of accidents that will occur.
10. Types of New Advance Technologies Within Cars
• Forward-Collision warning with (FCW) with autobrake
• Lane-departure warning (LDW) with steering assist
• Rear Cross Traffic
• Blind-spot monitoring assist
• Drowsiness detection
• Pedestrian detection with breaking
