HINVII™ Technology: Enhancing Roadside Safety for Public Safety Workers and Motorists

Improving Visibility in Roadside Scenes and Work Zones

Accident scenes and work zones are some of the most dangerous areas on the road. Each year, thousands of crashes occur in these zones, leading to injuries and fatalities among first responders, construction crews, utility workers, and roadside assistance teams. HINVII™ technology (High Intensity Non-Visible Intelligent Illumination) is designed to drastically improve visibility for roadside workers without creating distractions for drivers.

HINVII™ lights use low-wavelength, non-visible light to enhance high-visibility materials found on safety vests, traffic cones, and signage. This technology ensures that workers and critical roadside equipment stand out in low-light, foggy, or high-traffic conditions—helping prevent accidents and saving lives.

Increasing Roadside Safety with HINVII™ Technology

HINVII™ technology provides several key advantages in preventing roadside accidents:

Worker Visibility Enhancement: Non-visible lights illuminate phosphorescent materials on safety vests, cones, and signage, making workers stand out in dangerous conditions without affecting driver vision.
Reduced Risk of Roadside Collisions: Enhancing safety gear visibility at greater distances allows drivers more time to react and adjust their speed accordingly.
Improved Navigation in Low-Visibility Conditions: HINVII™ technology cuts through fog, rain, and nighttime darkness, ensuring that road workers and warning markers are more easily seen.
Non-Distracting Illumination: Unlike traditional lights that can create glare, non-visible lighting works behind the scenes to highlight important safety features without blinding drivers.

Research and Statistics

Recent studies highlight the life-saving potential of non-visible lighting in roadside safety:

Road Work Zone Crashes Are Increasing: Work zone fatalities increased 61% between 2013 and 2021, with over 42,000 injuries and nearly 1,000 fatalities occurring annually.
Work Zone Facts and Statistics: Work zones play a key role in maintaining and upgrading our Nation’s roadways. Unfortunately, daily changes in traffic patterns, narrowed rights-of-way, and other construction activities often create a combination of factors resulting in crashes, injuries, and fatalities. These crashes also cause excessive delays, especially given the constrained driving environment.
National Safety Council: In 2022, 891 people were killed and 37,701 people were injured in work zone crashes. Work zone crashes are defined as taking place within the boundaries of a work zone or on an approach to or exit from a work zone due to activities, behaviors, or controls related to traffic moving through the boundaries of a work zone.
The Construction Association: Nearly Two-Thirds Of Firms Working On Highway Upgrades Experienced Vehicles Crashing Into Work Zones During The Past Year, New Data Finds

These findings reinforce the importance of HINVII™ technology as an essential roadside safety tool for minimizing the risks associated with work zone crashes.

Protecting Workers and Motorists with HINVII™ Lighting

With work zone crashes on the rise, HINVII™ lighting is a game-changing innovation that enhances roadside safety without compromising driver focus. Whether used in construction zones, emergency response sites, or roadside repair areas, this technology is proven to improve visibility and reduce risks for both workers and motorists.
