For insurers and loss control

You see the claim. Not the exposure behind it.

RDWRX — the RoadDefender work zone safety platform — protects road crews on every shift and keeps a record of what was coming at them. That record is the exposure data work zone insurance has never had.

The gap in work zone loss data

Claims tell you what went wrong once. The record shows every shift.

Work zone losses arrive after the fact. What happened on the hundred shifts before — how fast traffic moved past the crew, how often someone needed a warning — usually isn't written down anywhere.

What loss control sees today

  • Claims and incident reports, after something has happened
  • Site visits that capture one day on one job
  • Safety plans that describe what should be in place
  • Little or no record of traffic conditions at the work point

What the RoadDefender record adds

  • Every shift the unit runs, not a sample day
  • Traffic volume and speed through the zone, job by job
  • Every warning sent to a worker, with time, GPS and speed
  • Video of the approach for each event

What the record contains

Captured as a by-product of protecting the crew. Nobody fills in a form.

Every vehicle through the zone

Traffic volume per job, with minimum, average and maximum speed.

Every pre-cue and cue

Each warning sent to a worker, logged with time and GPS location.

Video of the approach

The camera captures the approach for each event in the record.

Pooled across jobs

One record per job, comparable across crews, contractors and regions.

Every pre-cue and cue gives a safety program leading-indicator data it has never had.

Where it fits in your work

Data your risk engineers can actually use.

Risk engineering visits

Walk into a contractor review with traffic and warning data from their own jobs, not a checklist.

Account conversations

Talk to insured contractors about measured exposure on their work zones, shift by shift.

Event context

When something happens, the record shows time, location, vehicle speed and video of the approach.

How it works

Sensors on the truck. The warning on the worker. The record kept.

The computer sits in a sealed box on the vehicle and decides on the spot. Protection never depends on coverage; live supervisor video does.

PAVER ROLLER
01 · Sense

It watches the approach.

Doppler radar reads approaching traffic against the speed set for the site and against measured traffic.

02 · Cue

It warns the worker.

A pre-cue says something out there is wrong. A cue says look up and face traffic. Both arrive on the body, haptic and visual.

03 · Record

It keeps the record.

Every pre-cue and cue is logged with time, GPS, vehicle speed and video of the approach.

Questions carriers ask

The short answers.

Does the crew have to do anything to create the record?

No. The record is kept automatically while the unit protects the crew. Nobody logs anything by hand.

Who sees the data in a carrier pilot?

Access is agreed with the insured contractor in the pilot terms before install, so everyone knows who sees what.

Does RoadDefender replace barriers or traffic control?

No. RoadDefender is supplemental to existing work zone safety measures. Where a barrier can go, it should.

Does it need cell coverage?

Protection doesn't. The unit decides on the spot at the work point. Only the remote dashboard and live supervisor video need coverage.

Where is it running today?

With four Florida highway contractors, on paving jobs. It's listed on the FDOT Approved Product List (APL).
