Wearable Tech Enhances Safety for Highway Work Crews in Maryland
In Maryland, highway work crews are testing new wearable technology designed to improve safety by alerting workers to approaching vehicles and other hazards. This initiative, a collaboration between Morgan State University, the city of Baltimore, and the Maryland Department of Transportation, employs lidar sensors and a predictive algorithm to provide multi-sensory alerts. The system aims to reduce accidents in work zones by enhancing worker awareness and response to potential dangers.
