How It Works

The RWIS collects data from the traffic sensor, pavement sensors and atmospheric weather sensors. IntellizZone software analyzes the data and when conditions warrant, sends a message to highway advisory radios and portable message signs along the roadway. The highway advisory radios and portable message signs automatically update, in real time, to provide hazardous weather and traffic conditions to motorist. The system operates autonomously using decision matrixes and algorithms to determine proper messaging for the highway advisory radios and changeable message signs.
