Patented Work Zone Protection · FDOT APL Listed

The Alarm That Fires Before the Crash.

It's 2 AM. Your driver is hooked to a breakdown on the shoulder of I-75. Traffic is moving at 70 mph thirty feet behind him. There are cones. There is a vest. And there is nothing else between him and the next distracted driver.

Until now.

The Problem

Cones Are Easy To Ignore.
They Do Not Actively Alert Drivers And Crew.

Every year, over 850 road workers are killed on the job in the United States. Forty thousand more are injured. The number one cause isn't equipment failure. It isn't falling debris. It's a distracted driver who did not see the cones in time to stop.

Your crew has MUTCD-compliant setup. They have the vests, the arrow boards, the proper taper. And still, a vehicle can breach that line before any person can react — because a human reaction time of 0.2 seconds does not compete with a vehicle at highway speed.

OVERWATCH doesn't replace your traffic control setup. It adds the one thing cones cannot: an alarm that fires the instant a vehicle crosses the line — before the collision.

Without OVERWATCH

By the time your crew sees the vehicle, they have 1.2 seconds. A car at 70 mph travels 123 feet per second.

With OVERWATCH

The alarm fires at the boundary. 3–5 seconds of warning. Enough time to move. Enough time to survive.

The Technology

Three Steps from Caseto Armed Barrier.

01
Position

Set the unit at your zone boundary. One person. No tools. The portable unit weighs 50 lbs and stands independently. Vehicle-mounted units are already in position on your truck.

60 seconds
02
Target

Use the video targeting display to align the LiDAR barrier across the full lane width. The barrier is invisible, vehicle-specific, and unaffected by darkness, rain, dust, or fog.

60 seconds
03
Armed

System is live. The moment a vehicle-sized object crosses the boundary, a 125 dB alarm fires. It resets automatically when the vehicle clears. No crew action needed.

What Happens WhenYou Deploy It.

★★★★★

"Honestly? My guys laughed at it the first week. Thought it was overkill. Then a sedan came through the taper at 65 mph and the alarm fired. Nobody laughed after that. Every truck in the fleet has one now."

Dave K.
Towing Company Owner · Southeast Region
★★★★★

"I've been a DOT safety manager for 14 years. I've seen a lot of products come through claiming to be game-changers. OVERWATCH is the first one I've seen that actually changes the game. The FDOT APL process was straightforward and we had units deployed within 60 days."

James M.
DOT Safety Manager · Florida District
★★★★★

"We had a close call two years ago — a driver clipped our setup and we lost a crew member. I found OVERWATCH six months later. I think about that every time I hear it fire on a vehicle and everyone walks away fine."

Common Questions

The Questions SkepticsAsk First.

Performance

Will it false-alarm constantly? My crew will start ignoring it.

OVERWATCH filters to vehicle-sized objects only. Wind, debris, birds — none of these fire the alarm. When it fires, it's real. Every time.

Deployment

Is "under 3 minutes, one person" actually realistic in the field?

That's the field-tested number — not a lab estimate. Crews hit under 2 minutes by their second or third deployment.

Funding

Can ITS funding really cover 80% of the cost?

Federal ITS grant programs can cover up to 80% for qualifying agencies. Call Randy — he confirms eligibility in 10 minutes.

Built by Someone Who Knows the Stakes

The Man Who Built Alpha SafenetAnd Invented the OVERWATCH Platform

Randy didn't build OVERWATCH in a lab. He built it because he understood — in a way you can only understand from experience — that the standard traffic control setup wasn't enough. That the moment a distracted driver blew past a cone at 70 mph, there was nothing left to protect the crew.

He spent years developing, patenting, and testing a system that would give his crew the one thing they never had: warning before impact. Not a notification after the fact. Not a report. An alarm, in real time, before the vehicle reaches anyone.

OVERWATCH is now FDOT Approved Products Listed, deployed across multiple states, and protecting the crews that keep America's roads moving. And Randy still answers every phone call himself.
