Sugomatic and sudden alerts are provided in partnership with INRIX, which use advanced algorithms that analyze millions of unknown connected vehicles that run more than a billion miles per day in the United States
In a step to reduce traffic accidents and deaths, Tennessee has become the latest state of providing sudden slowdown and virtual signs network for drivers through RadeWyze products by Fleetworthhy Smart RoadWays. Alerts are sent through fields, tablets and smartphones and are available for free through Drivewyze Free. Tennessee is now the twentieth state that offers messages by serving smart roads and thirteenth to provide sudden slowdown alerts.
“Our goal is to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with crowded road conditions,” said Josh Brown, Director of Traffic Operations at the Ministry of Transport at TDO. “This is why we now have 2800 miles of roads covered by the smart road program. These” heads “alerts will give drivers to slow down when there is a sudden crowding. Smart roads will benefit from the efforts of the current smart transport system in TDOT and the use of digital infrastructure to connect safety information in the taxi in commercial taxis.”
More trucks pass through Tennessee more than any other state. The 40th Highway, which passes through Tennessee, is a decisive shipping corridor and one of the most busy traffic in the United States, according to the BTS, trucks move more than 500 million tons of shipping annually on Tennessee roads and highways. The number is expected to reach 1 billion tons by 2045.
The sudden slowdown and congestion alerts are provided in partnership with INRIX, which use advanced algorithms that analyze millions of unknown connected vehicles that exceed more than a billion miles per day in the United States, and this allows inrix to determine and monitor the slowdown of traffic. Then the information goes to Drivewyze and the smart road platform. Drivers receive messages like “sudden slowdown forward” and “crowding forward” from 2 to 3 miles before the slowdown, allowing time to slow down their speed.
Tennesse also uses Smart Roadways Virtual Signal, which allows the point of messaging drivers with allocated alerts in specific geographic sites. Theses can alert drivers to circumvent and notify them in an upcoming work area. According to the Strategic Safety Plan for Highways in TDOT 2025-2029, commercial vehicles participated in 21 % of severe work accidents from 2018 to 2022.
In addition to the alerts from Tennessee and other participating states, drivers with Drivewyze Free Alerts and consultants sponsored Drivewyze high -risk areas, low bridges, and mountainous alerts (highly slope; chain/brake scan stations, and rebellious RAMPS).
