# Road Worker Safety Solutions OnStation's Active Worksite™ Alerts Aim to Enhance Safety By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-03-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/active-worksite References: [globenewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/02/28/3034950/0/en/OnStation-Unveils-Groundbreaking-Alert-System-to-Protect-Road-Workers-and-Drivers.html)  OnStation has introduced a groundbreaking safety solution called Active Worksite™, which is designed to enhance protection for road workers and drivers by leveraging real-time alerts through connected navigation apps. This innovative system is set to launch in March 2025. It integrates with iCone to relay [anonymized worker location data](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florian-platform) to traffic safety feeds and [popular navigation platforms like Waze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waze-voice-feature-update). When activated by an OnStation App user within 130 feet of a construction zone, drivers receive alerts prompting them to slow down and exercise caution. Unlike traditional traffic control plans, which rely on pre-scheduled timelines, Active Worksite™ dynamically adapts to the presence of workers and offers a more responsive and effective safety measure, especially during unexpected work hours or impromptu maintenance tasks. OnStation's system addresses a critical issue in the construction industry, where [road worker fatalities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-safety-council) remain alarmingly high.
