Proactive Work Zone Safety Workshop

September 12, 2025

The workshop highlighted the progress of a proactive work zone warning system, developed with support from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Led by a research team at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, in collaboration with the University of Alabama, MITRE, and Florida A&M University–Florida State University, the system is designed to deliver early warnings to both drivers and highway workers to enhance safety. The event also provided a valuable opportunity for participants to offer feedback on how such technologies should be implemented to improve work zone safety nationwide.
