ITS for Your Work Zones.
Built by YOU.
SmartZone is SolarTech’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) software for work zones. Turn real-time sensor data and third-party data feeds into automatic roadside messages and warnings, using rules you create. No custom programming required. Keep teams and travelers informed with data feeds to Waze, email, and text alerts on system status and work zone conditions.
YOU define scenarios.
YOU set the rules.
- 01
Connect your data
Bring together work zone sensor data and supported third-party traffic feeds.
- 02
Choose the response
Set simple condition-and-response rules for changing traffic conditions, travel times or construction vehicle egress. No custom programming required!
- 03
Automate the action
Automatically update message boards, activate flashing beacons and send updates. Adjust your rules yourself as project needs change.
- 04
See the whole picture
Monitor your work zone on a live map combining camera feeds, sensor readings, color-coded traffic overlays and displayed messages. Review historical sensor and message data to see how your work zone responded over time.
Set up and select data inputs
Connect roadside sensors and third-party traffic data to power your SmartZone scenarios.
Respond to changing conditions
From queue warnings to travel time updates, create scenarios that keep drivers informed, and adjust them yourself as your project changes. SmartZone is built to be flexible, so it can adapt to whatever your DOT wants to do. These are just a few examples.
Queue detection and warning
Detect slow or stopped traffic and automatically update upstream message boards. Use GPS-based distance calculations to tell drivers how far ahead the slowdown begins.
Travel time information
Turn travel time data into roadside updates that help drivers understand the journey ahead.
Construction vehicle warnings
Use presence detection radar to activate roadside warnings when construction vehicles are preparing to enter traffic.
Variable speed limits
Set rules to support variable speed limit applications where permitted and supported by project equipment.

Keep drivers informed and teams connected
Deliver roadside warnings, send email updates and share work zone data beyond the job site.
-
Automatically update message boards and activate flashing beacons based on your rules.
-
Keep teams informed about work zone conditions and system status.
-
Share work zone information with Waze to help inform approaching travelers.
-
Provide work zone data through WZDx and TranSTAR feeds. Custom API feeds can be developed for additional integration needs.
Monitoring and Reporting
Your work zone in a single view
Bring camera feeds, real-time sensor readings, color-coded traffic overlays and displayed messages together on a live map. Review historical sensor and message data to see how conditions and system responses changed over time.
Reporting
Access detailed historical reports of collected sensor data and displayed messages to support project documentation and reporting requirements. Report distances between units to help verify work zone layout. Set up reports to send automatically on a schedule, like every Monday for the previous week, so no one has to remember.
