The Utah Department of Transportation (Utah DOT) has awarded digital work zone and road management platform provider Causeway one.network a major contract to provide its Live Link and Traffic Management software statewide.
Causeway one.network created both solutions to simplify the process of closing traffic lanes while contributing to increased safety and improved efficiency for drivers and work zone crews alike.
Through Live Link authorized operators using an intuitive mobile app can manage road and lane closures ensuring vital information is communicated to drivers, right from the work zone.
“Communicating roadway disruptions quickly and efficiently is the most effective strategy to keeping people safe and maintaining traffic flow,” said Paul Madeira, Causeway Technologies’ chief international growth officer. “Utah DOT’s leadership team clearly understand that, and we’re excited to be part of their commitment to the residents and road users they serve.”
Live Link facilitates near real-time communication of road and lane closures, directly from the work zone to motorists through the most popular navigation apps, including Google Maps, Waze, TomTom, Apple Maps, as well as trucking applications and OEMs.
By using Causeway one.network’s Traffic Management and Live Link modules, Utah DOT and its contractors will gain the ability to plan, coordinate, and communicate any type of road event and associated traffic management plans, including detours and unplanned incidents, through a single, unified platform.
At Causeway, improving work zone safety is a company-wide commitment. In 2023 alone, 899 people in the US died and thousands more suffered life changing injuries as the result of work zone crashes.
The Utah DOT agreement represents the second statewide contract for Causeway one.network. The Florida Department of Transportation uses Live Link to power the agency’s Lane Closure Notification System (LCNS), which has posted over 50,000 work zone closures to date.
