Wedoany.com Report on Mar 6th, Roadway TM has taken a significant step in integrating technology into traffic management by successfully deploying HRS's Intellicone IPAWS technology across multiple overnight full-lane closure projects in the Midlands region of the UK. This traffic management system has been implemented at Darlington Street in Wolverhampton and the Moseley project in Birmingham to support road resurfacing and related works, where the safety of on-site teams and the travelling public is paramount. These on-site deployments are part of Roadway TM's broader strategy to adopt intelligent traffic management solutions, enhance protection for road workers, and deter intrusions in both high-speed and low-speed environments.
Roadway TM is dedicated to introducing systems like Intellicone IPAWS into the local authority sphere, demonstrating the tangible safety and operational benefits they offer. This traffic management system can create electronically alarmed closure points, providing immediate warnings to staff in the event of a forced entry. Operators can trigger a 96-decibel audible alarm and a visual alert to deter drivers from entering the cordoned-off area while providing instant notification to the team. This early warning capability gives the team valuable time to retreat to designated safe locations, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury and potentially reducing the need for fully manned closure points.
Both traffic management project sites were overseen by Regional Manager Jamie Reardon, who stated that the Intellicone IPAWS system has transformed the way risks are managed in both high-speed and low-speed closures. As drivers often attempt to force their way into restricted areas, having instant intrusion notification provides the team with the warning they need. HRS personnel were present at both sites to guide the Roadway TM team through the on-site setup and operation of the system, ensuring the technology was fully understood and embedded into site procedures. HRS stated that IPAWS provides alarmed closure points, reducing the need for manually manned positions and improving overall operational efficiency in this region of high traffic density and diverse infrastructure requiring adaptive solutions.
