HRS

HRS was established in 2011, following the death of a road worker in Lincolnshire, UK. This tragic incident, caused by an errant vehicle, was the catalyst for the development of an Incursion Warning System for road workers which is now recognised as best practice by industry and Highways England. Our mission is to provide intuitive technology-based Smart Work Zone Solutions that will help to significantly reduce injuries and fatalities, resulting from errant vehicle -incursions and works vehicles, in temporary work zones whilst providing road users with accurate real-time roadworks information. Our solutions are award winning (2018 CIHT Innovation Award) and have proven to safeguard road workers on a large number of occasions whilst also delivering net cost savings in temporary traffic management. All our solutions are underpinned by our proprietary Internet of Things (IoT) device platform (ISM Studio – Integrated Safety Management) which enables communication between smart devices and road workers over unlimited distance whilst delivering a wealth of previously unavailable information in real time. Our sensor solutions are based on the innovative Intellicone® sensor & wireless communication system, which enables the rapid deployment of an electronically monitored & alarmed temporary barrier. Our systems provide unique objective real-time road works information which help our clients become more efficient and provide accurate information to key stakeholders such as road users.
