State DOTs and public agencies
A smart work zone that meets the specification, a WZDx feed you can publish, and records that answer questions later.
Company
Smart work zones, run by the people who design them
One accountable team that designs, installs, runs and reports the whole smart work zone, with worker protection built in.
How we work
Six rules we hold ourselves to
Plain, specific and factual, like a good engineer writing to another engineer.
One team answers for the system
Design, installation, monitoring, relocations, repairs and reports sit with one team. When a sign shows the wrong thing or a sensor goes quiet, there is no question whose problem it is.
Safety functions do not wait for the cloud
Intrusion alarms and fail-safe messages run on the node. The network and the platform add the record, never the reaction.
Give the number and its basis
Detection ranges, power budgets and alarm times come with where they came from. Design values are labeled as design values.
Say what is still unproven
Anything that depends on a test, a datasheet or an approval is marked that way, in proposals and on this site.
Design to the specification
The agency's provisions are the requirements. We map every clause to how it is met before the first device is ordered.
The data belongs to the project
The WZDx feed, the archive and the reports are deliverables. At the end of the project the agency gets the archive and our storage is sanitized.
Status
Where we are
LaneWarden is a new company. The system on this site is designed and specified around signs, radars, cameras and power systems from established manufacturers, with our own edge software and platform tying them together.
Before a first deployment, a complete kit is tested on a closed course: detection ranges, alarm timing, the reach of the crew wearables, cold starts and both cellular carriers. We publish field results only once they are measured.
Who we work with
Built for everyone on the project
General contractors
One subcontractor for the whole smart work zone, alerts that reach your traffic control supervisor in time to act, and protection for your crews.
Engineering and design firms
Device layouts, operating logic and compliance matrices for plans, estimates and special provisions.
Traffic control providers
A partner for the connected layer on top of your devices and your people.
Brand
The name and the mark
LaneWarden is the lane and the warden who keeps watch over it. The system guards two groups at once: the traveling public in the lane and the crew working beside it.
The mark is a shield around a two-lane road with a yellow center line, converging on an orange sensor sending out radar waves: protection, the road, and the system keeping watch.
Every lane watched. Every worker home.
