This webchat covers connected work zones, roadway worker safety, and overall work zone management. Hear how the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), Highway Division, is revolutionizing roadway work zone management with its enhanced Work Zone Manager (WZM) application. This comprehensive system captures smart work zone data, approves lane closures, and uses Connected Work Zone Notification Systems (CWZNS) to validate worker presence, creating a robust Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) feed for third-party use. By actively alerting the public to work zone activities and worker locations, MassDOT aims to enhance road safety and reduce risks for workers.
