AI & Crash Mitigation in Work Zones

6/19/2025 - 10:50am-11:45am

Work zones present rapidly changing environments that create potential hazards for motorists and roadway workers due to shifting lane configurations, temporary signs, uneven surfaces, and construction activities. Advances in video analytics enable proactive, data-driven monitoring of these temporary conditions, helping identify hidden safety risks before incidents occur. In this session, we’ll explore how video-based analytics, including near-miss analysis, wrong-way driving alerts, speed monitoring, and compliance checks, can guide practical safety interventions, improving protection for drivers and on-site workers.
