This information is seamlessly integrated with systems like the work zone data exchange (WZDx) and Waze.

NPRO 2025 Participants

Advanced Emergency Products, Old Saybrook, Connecticut
Product: Zone Command – Zone Command is an artificial intelligence (AI) powered, mobile, mounted camera system designed to protect workers and emergency personnel from an impending collision. It identifies approaching vehicles, calculates speed and stopping distance, and warns workers and emergency personnel when a vehicle is on a  collision course with the work zone area.

AllRail, Rutherfordton, North Carolina
Product: Bolt Spider – Guardrail panel, deployed where frozen precipitation is common, creates a persistent issue of seized splice nut/bolt hardware via the regular, necessary application of corrosive anti-icing chemicals to the road surface. Seized hardware creates significant workflow issues, forcing contractors to use demo/chop-saws to dismantle panels, leading to multiple injuries among road crew personnel each year.

Asynt Solutions, Columbus, Ohio
Product: Ape Barrier – The Ape Barrier is a Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) TL-3 accredited longitudinal barrier comprised of E-glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP/Fiberglass). The high strength-to-weight ratio of this material allows the barriers to be very light and yet very strong. The material is also inert to salt and roadway de-icing chemicals, extending the usable life to more than 25 years.

DOW, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania
Product: DOW™ Specification Tracker – This is a  digital service platform designed to empower the road markings industry with an interactive, centralized database of U.S. waterborne traffic paint specifications. As autonomous vehicle (AV) adoption accelerates and safety measures tighten, reliable road markings become more crucial. However, the relevant regulations are highly fragmented, with each state having its own specifications and no consolidated database previously available. This digital dashboard compiles over 100 critical requirements from over 50 specification documents, offering a user-friendly interface for searching, visualization and analysis of specifications in seconds.

Lubao Smart Traffic, Huizhou, Guangdong, China
Product: Internally Illuminated Raised Pavement Marker – The LS-68A Internally Illuminated Raised Pavement Marker (IIRPM) offers multi-angle visibility, providing a vertical illumination range of 0°-15° and a 22.5° expanded side angle for enhanced driver visibility. It meets ASTM D4280 standards, is built to withstand over 20,000 pounds of pressure, and is snow-plow resistant, making it ideal for high-traffic and harsh environments. It is solar powered and offers over 32 hours of continuous lighting after full charge.

Moovop, Quebec, Canada
Product: TALL42 – TALL42™ is a 42-inch concrete moveable barrier designed for maximum safety, fully compliant with MASH TL-4 standards to dramatically reduce truck rollover risk. Its height decreases headlight glare for bidirectional traffic, enhancing visibility for drivers and workers. The T-shaped lifting head allows for smooth, precise configuration changes with a barrier transfer machine, making it ideal for temporary or permanent setups in high traffic areas.

NextGen Safety, Kosciusko, Mississippi
Product: Next Generation Terminal (NGT) – The NGT is a MASH TL-3, non-gating W-beam guardrail end terminal. Tested in excess of 75 mph, the NGT can perform on high-speed corridors where the most fatalities and serious injuries occur. With the shortest length-of-need, the NGT gives departments of transportation (DOTs) and roadside designers maximum flexibility when designing guardrail layouts. The NGT features fewer unique parts and can be installed in 45 minutes or less.

Pretred, Aurora, Colorado
Product: Colorado Barrier – The Colorado Barrier is a MASH-16 TL2 sustainable rubber barrier made in the U.S. from 95% recycled waste tires. It has a 283% lower carbon footprint than concrete barriers and is designed to enhance safety with its ability to absorb and disperse impact energy more effectively than concrete barriers. Rubber barriers have a level of flexibility, won’t shatter on impact and are easier to install and reposition, enhancing safety for workers.

Ramudden, Lakeland, Florida
Product: SVEA Barrier and Sound/Debris panels – The SVEA barrier system is a lightweight, steel-jacketed concrete barrier designed for urban work zones. It features a short length of need and provides strong protection. It can be equipped with accessories like sound and debris panels or security fencing to enhance safety. Its construction is designed to minimize wear and breakage, and its connection system is engineered for a secure setup.
Product: Torun barrier system – The Torun improves urban safety with a lightweight design, offering easy handling without sacrificing effectiveness. It provides durable protection while blending into city landscapes.

Site 20/20, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
Product: Guardian Sign – Guardian Smart Signs is a small, robust sensor attaching to all types of traffic control signage. This sensor allows management a higher level of real-time quality control on job sites while reducing liability for its companies. It is the first step to ensuring traffic control companies have a higher level of connectivity and monitoring of signage to ensure the public is aware of what’s happening on the jobs, while both flaggers and management are confident signage is set up properly.

3M, St. Paul, Minnesota
Product: 3M™ Stamark™ All Weather Removable Tape Series 710IR – This is a temporary wet retroreflective pavement marking tape available in white, yellow, and black.

Traffic Pro Beds, Frederick, Maryland
Product: Traffic Pro Trailer – The trailer is designed to enhance the operational safety, efficiency and response time of a work zone set-up for Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) operations that use dedicated traffic control trailers, especially in first response and evacuation situations. It can be easily installed onto a trailer, loaded with temporary traffic control devices and left in the yard ready to hitch and ride to an incident. It is designed to be driven straight into a shielding position in an incident response without jeopardizing an employee’s safe access to equipment later.

Valtir, Addison, Texas
Product: 4F-T™ – The 4F-T™ is a flared, single-sided W-Beam guardrail end terminal, tested to MASH 2nd Edition Test Level 3 criteria, and designed to enhance roadside safety. It features a 4-foot flare, away from traffic, from the downstream guardrail. The 4F-T™ minimizes nuisance impacts by errant vehicles and potential damage from ongoing maintenance operations. It also reduces the length of barrier needed to protect roadway hazards.
Product: NOVUS™ 100 Crash Cushion – The NOVUS™ 100 is a redirective, non-gating, energy-absorbing crash cushion tested to MASH Test Level 3.
