Why iCone?

Internet of RoadWork (IoR)™

iCone Products, LLC is the creator of IoR – Internet of RoadWork for work zone information. iCone’s ConnectedTech™ products deliver real-time status for road construction, emergency operations, road maintenance and other roadway anomalies such as utility vehicles and landscaping vehicles directly to traffic control centers, navigation systems, car dashboards and autonomous vehicles to improve safety for both the driving public and workers along roadways.

By creating a digitally connected set of work zone traffic control and roadway infrastructure  – an "internet of RoadWork devices" – drivers, contractors, and traffic managers will receive real-time status about key traffic control equipment being used in roadway construction operations performing tasks such as, temporary work zones, lane closures, protecting lives and equipment, closing roads, and performing maintenance, through automatic communications from equipment embedded inside important roadway infrastructure.

ConnectedTech™ is a network of smart devices that interface with all caliber of work zone & traffic control equipment providing increased safety and intelligent insight into the anomalies that occur during roadwork activities whether it is a work zone, road construction, or any work vehicles on the road.  

ConnectedTech devices allow you to take all of your work zone equipment and turn it into internet connected equipment and become a part of the Internet of Roadwork. Regardless of the manufacturer of your arrow board, TMA or hazard light, iCone’s ConnectedTech products will work seamlessly with them to provide location data and equipment status. ConnectedTech allows you to only need to manage one source for your work zone information instead of being a traffic manager of the data from each individual manufacturers’ proprietary platform.    

Whether your traffic management and safety equipment are from one manufacturer or several, iCone’s ConnectedTech devices work with all of them; giving you peace of mind and only one source to monitor for your work zone information.

Safer Work Zones

With iCone’s comprehensive product line of work zone safety equipment, road work sites are able to create an additional layer of security and safety for both their workers and oncoming motorists. Given advanced notification of emergency / temporary roadwork or long-term construction projects, drivers are able to plan alternate routes via safe navigation to avoid oncoming road hazards and live work zones. iCone data integrated with additional traffic navigation technology and data will significantly improve the deployment of roadway maintenance, traffic control plans, construction staging, and traffic impact analysis resulting in roadways and work zones that dramatically improve driving efficiency and highway worker safety.

ConnectedTech devices adapt to today’s technology to solve worker safety concerns for the changing roadways populated by temporary work zones by:

Becoming data generators for intelligent transportation systems.

Proliferation of smart work zones worldwide.

Smarter Logistics

iCone’s live data is easily accessible and available from user friendly dashboards that provide system managers with real-time situational awareness allowing for the evaluation of response time and equipment allocation for each location. iCone’s ability to sort by time, date, location and additional features gives traffic managers the ability to focus on immediate problems in high activity locations to make informed decisions regarding deployment of resources for the maintenance of safety equipment for the work zone or the driving public.

Smarter Navigation

Regardless of where you are going, iCone’s ConnectedTech devices will alert you to approaching work zones.  It allows you to avoid them and get where you are going efficiently.  

iCone’s live data is easily accessible and available from user friendly navigational apps that provide the driving public and logistics companies with real-time situational awareness allowing for re-routing of a planned trip to avoid road construction areas or road work anywhere that is marked with ConnectedTech. 

For logistics companies, data generated from the ConnectedTech devices can be used to efficiently route drivers for delivery and pick-ups; avoiding costly delays caused by road work.
