Distracted driving in highway work zones pose significant risks for both motorists and roadway workers alike. With more construction and maintenance taking place on active roadways, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet recognized a need for real-time communication to improve safety. Traditional communication methods—such as news releases and social media posts—helped raise awareness but did not offer timely updates for mobile work zones, like pothole patching or mowing, which frequently change locations. This KYTC project aimed to bridge that gap and deliver immediate, on-the-road alerts to help motorists make safer decisions and protect road crews in ever-changing work zone environments. The agency provided real-time alerts about slow-moving work vehicles through the WAZE navigation application, using KYTC vehicle sensor data. That provided more timely warnings to drivers so they could adjust their speed or route before reaching a work zone. As a result, the risk of sudden braking, crashes, and traffic congestion is reduced. By using existing automated vehicle location or AVL data to generate timely, location-specific alerts, the system enhances driver awareness and improves safety around mobile work zones.
